LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] default sound card specification in alsa conf files

Is the syntax for specifying defaults different in asound.conf than in .asoundrc? Because after reading

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc

I changed my asound.conf from

Code:

defaults.pcm.!card 1

defaults.ctl.!card 1

defaults.pcm.!device 3

defaults.ctl.!device 3

Code:

pcm.!default {

  type hw

  card 1

  device 3

}



ctl.!default {

  type hw

  card 1

  device 3

}

and never get this to work, not even supressing the 'type' param (the only obvious difference I could see), so I had to revert to the previous form.

My config:

Code:
