System is compiled with
Code:
USE="alsa pulseaudio"
. If I stay with a created
Code:
~/.asoundrc
pcm.Intel { type hw; card Intel; }
ctl.Intel { type hw; card Intel; }
pcm.NVidia { type hw; card NVidia; }
ctl.NVidia { type hw; card NVidia; }
pcm.!default pcm.Intel
ctl.!default ctl.Intel

when using alsamixer, the default sound is alsa and my laptop xf86audio FN+ work fine (openbox). If I remove the .asoundrc or state 'type pulse' it switches to pulse, but the xf86audio FN+ doesn't work.
Staying with alsa would be fine, buy I'm experiencing troubles with firefox flash e.g. youtube - no sound at all - sometime - not always. If I swith to opera everything plays fine.
I can't find any reasonable solution for that. Any hints?
Code:
~ $ lsmod|grep snd
snd_hda_codec_hdmi     21598  4
snd_hda_codec_realtek    50655  1
snd_hda_intel          23424  6
snd_hda_codec          71580  3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep               5450  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm                62003  3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec
snd_timer              16005  1 snd_pcm
snd                    50036  19 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               4402  1 snd
snd_page_alloc          6089  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
Code:
~ $  fuser -fv /dev/snd/*
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  piotr      2174 F.... volumeicon

By using "type hw" you're bypassing dmix.

Read the sample config file in my sig below.
