All I actually had to do was to add the following two lines to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: -------------- options snd-intel8x0 index=0 options snd-usb-audio index=-2,-2 -------------- It took me two months and four different forums/mailing lists to find out... I still think that it is the job of the desktop environment to search the configured soundcard at startup instead of letting poor users change system configuration files as root to hardcode the soundcard order. What do you think of the prop...
Hi all, I have a normal desktop PC with an on-board soundcard that runs Debian testing with KDE. Sometimes I plug in an USB headset for IP telephony. If the headset is attached when I boot the system KDE uses the headset instead of the soundcard for its normal sound output. How do I configure KDE to always use my on-board soundcard for default sound output?
