Thread: change default sound card on ubuntu

Hi all

Sorry for late post but i was really busy with some assignments and stuff.

I have tried this on ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, i have external yamaha sound card installed on my system, to change your default card simply go to Terminal

and type

sudo asoundconf list

it will display list of available sound card like for me it displayed
SI7012
YMF724

after thins you just need to use another command that is

asoundconf set-default-card YMF724

i have used my sound card name so please replace your sound card name here

after this you need to manually restart your system to apply settings

hope it will solve some sound problems

These are the sound cards installed in my system.

• VT82xx
• AudioPCI

I tried to run the second command and got this message.

Please note that you are attempting to run asoundconf as a privileged superuser, which may have unintended consequences.

i think you are using second command as

sudo asoundconf set-default-card YMF724

please use it as

asoundconf set-default-card YMF724

please check it should work fine

Code:

asoundconf set-default-card AudioPCI

I tried that but nothing happened. Just opened another line.

My default sound card is still set to VT82xx (built in soundcard).

archer please tell me are you able to get sound on your system or not
