im having problems with the audio devices..
first i had
0) onboard sound (default)
1) bt878 audio capture -» audio for the TV card
2) sound blaster live! [Emu10k1]

as i wasnt able to configure the audio devices for enemy territory, it only worked with the onboard sound. i disabled onboard sound from the bios, because i wanted to use my soundblaster card, and now bt878ac is the default audio device, and i cant set the default audio device in ALSA.. is there any way to do this? XMMS and other applications let me choose the "output device", but some do not, as Wolfenstein ET..
thanks in advance

btw.. im using ubuntu

You can easily route all of your audio to a single sound card using a .asoundrc file in your home directory.



Change the card # accordingly

i did that, and the ALSA mixer settings disappeared, now there's only the OSS mixer.
and i still get no sound in enemy territory and vlc ..

Ack, I'd recommend refraining from dmixing altogether, and if you can, just use the sblive card. Play around with your asoundrc config file, keep in mind that you can reread the file by closing anything and everything related to audio (artsd, kmixer, xmms, etc).
