I put a USB headset/mic combo on my system today. Prior to this I was using the soundcard built into my mobo. Windows handled everything fine and I have some success in Slackware (10.2) so I know I don't have a bad headset or other hardware failure. But I'm stuck trying to configure Slackware to default to the USB audio across the board. I configured XMMS with "options -> preferences -> audio output ALSA -> configure -> audio device -> HW:1,0" (the default was HW:0,0 for the previous onboard sound).
"cat /proc/asound/modules" gives me an output of:
"0 snd-intel8x0
1 snd-usb-audio"
I can't figure out how to get the sound to work for any of the other multimedia applications. Noatun, xine, etc. So..... what do I do to globally configure slackware to default to the USB setup?
Distribution: Solaris 10, Solaris Express Community Edition

Rep:
konqueror default behaviour is NOT showing you "hidden" files, i.e. files whose name starts with ".". you can for example
- use a terminal and ls -a
- type ~/. in konqueror address bar, it'll show you hidden files in a drop down list

I know it doesn't show them unless you change the setting, but I thought the search would find hidden files.
Slackware has no .asoundrc file by default, you need to create one. You will probably want to look online for a sample file to use, since I believe they are fairly complicated (though I have never personally used one).
I too have a USB headset, and I have only ever used per-program settings like you have been doing in XMMS. I don't know for sure that the .asoundrc will allow an across the board device change, but it's probably the best shot.
You could always just disable the primary sound card to, if your goal here is to use only the USB headset.
