Guest 8086 Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) Hi everybody, I am a new user of Linux (although I have been trying various distros for the past two years). I searched a lot in this forum and some other forums to get a solution to the default sound card problem. But none helped. The situation is like this. I have an onboard sound card on my Intel motherboard and a PCI Soundblaster Live 5.1 card. Mandriva 2006, by default , chose the onboard one. I wanted the SBLive, but didn't want to disable the onboard either. After going through various posts and trying out the suggestions, I did something which is working for me now. Earlier my modprob.conf file in /etc was like this. alias eth0 via-rhine alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-1 snd-emu10k1 remove snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1 install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 remove snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true I changed it as follows: alias eth0 via-rhine alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 alias sound-slot-1 snd-intel8x0 remove snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } remove snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1 install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true The changes are in bold. The SBLive entry is now after the Intel entry. Now SBLive is the default card. Please don't shout at me if a solution to this has already been posted. This is my first hack in Linux, and I wanted to tell all MandrivaUsers :D [moved from Hardware - arctic.

laiback Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I'm not shouting, in fact I'm pleased you posted this item. I may well need it myself in the not too distant future. Thanks Laidback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
