create a file .asoundrc under your home directory. The contents of the
file should be as follows:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 48000
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card 0
}
You might have to change the hw:0,0 line to reflect your setup, but it
should work as is. I myself got the idea from the ALSA docs:
