Sound problem

AryMaynart · 02-10-2013, 01:43 PM

Heloo,

I am having a problem with my sound card. I have two of them, onboard and a c-media pci. Slack is setting the onboard card has the default one.
I want to change this. I google it, but the solutions i have found does not work. I think is because of slack version.
This does not help. Its returning a syntax error on line 5

Code:

PROBLEM: alsa is setting the wrong device as the default sound; you can force the correct default as follows:

FIX: Create /etc/asound.conf and add an entry for the working card/slot and device:

   pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
        device 0
   }
   ctl.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
        device 0
   }

Look what I have here!!

Code:

root@Ary-PC:/proc/asound# cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xdfef4000 irq 23
1 [CMI8738 ]: CMI8738 - C-Media CMI8738
C-Media CMI8738 (model 37) at 0xe800, irq 19

I want to set C-media has default sound card.
How can i do that?

Try to put in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

Code:

options snd_hda_intel index=-2
options snd_cmipci index=0

These changes require a system reboot.

Hi,

I don't have this file at this folder. Should I create that?
I made the sound work, but i am having to change the driver in each app.
My sound card still being the second choice of slack.
And why i have to close my player before i see youtube videos?
And why i cant play music and see videos at the same time?
I don't believe salckware just permit one sound media based at a time.

You must create this file.
If your sound card order changes on boot, you can specify their order in any file ending with .conf in /etc/modprobe.d
You can also provide an index of -2 to instruct ALSA to never use a card as the primary one.

This command does not work on my slackware 14.

Code:

options snd slots=snd_mia,snd_hda_intel
options snd_mia index=0
options snd_hda_intel index=1

Even at the terminal i have an error.

Code:

root@Ary-PC:/etc/modprobe.d# . alsa-base.conf
bash: options: command not found
bash: options: command not found
bash: options: command not found

No you shouldn't execute that /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Put that file in /lib/modprobe.d instead of /etc/modprobe.d ,and then reboot your computer
This is mine

Code:

cat /lib/modprobe.d/alsa.conf 
options snd-hda-intel index=1
options snd-ctxfi index=0

Ok.
Its working.
The sound card still is not the default, but that is not the bigger problem now. Why, when i am seeing a video and try to play a music i receive the message: Your sound card is beeing used or occuped with another aplication.
This is a big problem. Can i solve that?

Annyone???
In slackware 14 i can play just one media at time.
How can I solve that??
