 Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2014 4:40 am Post subject: [Solved] Select Default ALSA Sound Card |
 |
|
I'm sure this has been asked multiple times in the past, so if I look hard enough, I should be able to figure it out on my own. But I haven't had much luck, so I'm going to shamelessly ask for your help.
My laptop has (I think) 2 sound cards, and the default is set to HDMI instead of the tiny speakers on the laptop. Thus I'm not getting any sound. How do I set the default sound card? Here is relevant info.
| Code: | # lspci | grep -i audio
00:01.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 9840
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH Azalia Controller (rev 02)

| Code: | # aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC282 Analog [ALC282 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

| Code: | # aplay -L
null

When I start "alsamixer" and press F6, I see the following list. I need to select "1" to see the usual Master, Headphone, Speaker, etc, controls.
| Code: | Sound Card
- (default)
0 HD-Audio Generic
1 HD-Audio Generic
|
I remember there used to be a command called "alsaconf", but it doesn't seem to be included in alsa-utils anymore. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I assume this is pure alsa? If not, then this might not work.
What you need is an .asoundrc file. This should probably work. | Code: | | defaults.pcm.!card 1 |
More detail about using this file can be found here

Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box. |
