/etc/asound.conf NEED CHANGES

Ok , i try explain with not too large explains.

Anyone test liveslack ? (erick works) ?

If test , see how in the first run never have sound ..
If you are running in to a USB KEY , then no problem , in the second run , you have sound ..this is because after first run of pulseaudio , files go stored in persistency.

but ...

If i use cd/dvd ?

easy , no sound NEVER, because in cd/dvd no persistency and ever is the first run.

to solve this need change configuration in

Code:

/etc/asound.conf

original config is

Code:

# ALSA system-wide config file
# By default, redirect to PulseAudio:
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
    # If defaults.namehint.showall is set to off in alsa.conf, then this is
    # necessary to make this pcm show up in the list returned by
    # snd_device_name_hint or aplay -L
    hint.description "Default Audio Device"
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

proposed config are "ARCHLINUX CONFIG"

Code:

# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
  hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
  }
}

ctl.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
}

With that change ,pulse works ever at first run ,and no need reboot.

That is not important in slack , but think around other distros based on slackware making livecd , in this escenario , audio need works at first run ever.

That little change , is good for liveslack ,and other lives based on slackware.

Remember , if test liveslack in to usb key , see how first run no have sound , in the second have, but because persistent store the files to the first run.

If go with cd/dvd , then cant write persistent ,and no sound never.

Im not sure , but probably , slackware do the same at first boot , and need one reboot to get sound working.

I post , but is slackware problem... or asound.conf is making for alien bob ?

Slackware first run ,do the same , and need one reboot to get sound.

This is not important , when see no sound , normally think to reboot , to see is solved .. and after a reboot is done, but think is better working in first run time system.

or not ?

opensuse have two files

/etc/alsa-pulse.conf

with:

@hooks [
{
func load
files [
"/etc/asound.conf"
"/etc/asound-pulse.conf"
"~/.asoundrc"
]
errors false
}
]

<confdir:alsa.conf>

and /etc/asound-pulse.conf

with:

# PulseAudio plugin configuration

pcm.!default {
type pulse
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
}
fallback "sysdefault"
}

ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
}

Actually, I propose we not overwrite the system ALSA config ('/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf') and avoid using '!' entirely. A better '/etc/asound.conf' would be:

Code:

pcm.default pulse
ctl.default pulse

This also makes the microphone work again on two of my laptops.
