 |
|
I wish to use a wireless USB audio headset with Minecraft and TeamSpeak. However, the only way I've found to do that is to use .asoundrc to make the alsa default card 3.
The contents of my .asoundrc are as follows:
| Code: | pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
# card 3
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
# card 3
} |
And when I want to use the headset:
| Code: | pcm.!default {
type hw
# card 0
card 3
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
# card 0
card 3
} |
The problem is, with this file in existence, it makes any program that uses the default alsa device prevent other programs from accessing it. |

| Oh. I hope there's another solution, I hated dealing with Pulseaudio when I used Ubuntu and Fedora. |

just replace the cards in the default pcm instead of making a new one:
| ~/.asoundrc: | defaults.pcm.!card 3
defaults.ctl.!card 3
|
that should be enough. |
