Setting the audio-out to a different sound card.
On my system, I have two sound cards:
- NVidia nForce2 (on-board) - Creative SBLive! (emu10k1) With KDE, I was able to switch between the two cards, but due to size restrictions on my hard drive, I switched to GNOME. However, I am having a really hard time figuring out how to switch the sound output to the Creative SBLive!. The NVidia sucks, and not to mention, I paid for 5.1 surround sound, and I want to use it. GNOME keeps defaulting to the NVidia. I know the driver for the Creative SBLive! is emu10k1 - as when I was using Fedora Core 6, I could select which card to set as primary during OS installation. Alas, I am using Debian now. In GNOME, how do I change which sound card the DE uses? |

Thanks for the reply, Quakeboy02, but what I find weird is that the only two devices that are listed, are the NVidia nForce2 (Alsa mixer) and a Realtek ALC650F (OSS mixer). The only thing that is a Realtek on my system, is my Ethernet card. :S
I just noticed as I was booting up today, that the probe for EMU10K1_Audigy fails with a -12 code. I Googled this, and it turns out that this means there's an IO conflict. And methinks it's an IO conflict with my Ethernet card. I'm going to try hacking out a way to fix this, but do you have any other suggestions as to how to fix this, in the meantime? EDIT: Here's the output of "lsmod | grep -i emu10k1" (if it's of any help): Code:
