One is the RS880 Audio Device. One is the Bels? hangforr?? Analog Stereo device. Please accept my apology for using ? for non-English characters. I don't know how to enter non-English characters. I'm not sure what the "Monitor of ..." entries are for. I ignore them (can someone tell us what they are for?). When you run paman (from rpm -q -i paman), it should show "Server Information" as the first tab, "Devices" as the second tab, "Clients" as the third tab, "Modules" as the fourth tab, and finally "Sample Cache" For "Server Information", what is the "Default Sink" and what is the "Default Source". I have, for Default Sink, alsa_output.pci-0000_00_10.1.analog-stereo Default Source, alsa_input.pci-0000_00_10.1.analog-stereo For devices, I have Sinks alsa_output.pci-0000_00_10.1.analog-stereo Internal Audio Analog Stereo Sources alsa_output.pci-0000_00_10.1.analog-stereo.monior Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo alsa_input.pci-0000_00_10.1.analog-stereo Internal Audio Analog Stereo This leads to my questions: 1) do you have alsa_input.xxx... for each microphone input source? I would ignore the "Monitor of ..." entries. 2) On the "Server Information" tab, what is the default Source when you do not have the USB sound card in, and what is the default Source when you have the USB sound card. I still suspect you have to select your default source and default sink. I did another Internet search...don't know if it will help: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Allowing_Multiple_Programs_to_Play_Sound Please search for "Random Lack of Sound": " Random Lack of Sound If you randomly have no sound on startup, it may be because your system has multiple sound cards, and their order may sometimes change on startup. If this is the case, then change this section of /etc/asound.conf: ctl.dmixer { type hw card FOO } Replace FOO with the desired audio device, as reported in the /proc/asound/cards file. An example of the file is shown below. 0 [U0x46d0x9a1 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x9a1 USB Device 0x46d:0x9a1 at usb-0000:00:12.2-2, high speed 1 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB HDA ATI SB at 0xf9ff4000 irq 16 Device 0 is the microphone built into a webcam, while device 1 is the integrated sound card. If you've copied the /etc/asound.conf from above as is, alsa will attempt to initialize the microphone as an audio output device, but will fail and you will have no sound. Rather than setting FOO to the number, you set it to the name next to the number, like so: ctl.dmixer { type hw card SB } " -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
