It looks like alsa is treating a usb device as a sound device, when it isn't. But it is being placed in the first slot, 0, which everything assumes is the default sound device. run aplay -l to see what alsa thinks are your sound devices and the order they were found. And you can run the script at You could also run the script below and post the link or run with option --no-upload and post the output so people can see what your system configuration is. http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh Note, this gives a *lot* of information, most of it only of use to developers. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
