[SOLVED]How to set default audio playback device?

I have an X-fi forte soundcard that doesn't work on linux, so I'm just gonna use the onboard realtek chip, but I get no sound from that either unless I physically remove the X-fi card.
I use the X-fi when I boot into windows though, so I'd like to keep it...
How do I change the default playback device?
I didn't find anything that worked in the wiki or with google.

oh wait... I just spotted this in the wiki guide, a little too late
NB: Some modules do not support indexing options eg. snd-hda-intel. If you experience problems on reboot edit /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to just have the modules.
what does that mean "edit /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to just have the modules.".... what modules? :S
should I just remove "index=0" from the line?
Edit: yes I should. It's working
Thx man

Need help getting current/default audio playback device from VISTA

Hello,
I need to get the current audio playback device in VISTA.
It's easy enough in XP as I just get this information from the
registry. My understanding is that things are different under
VISTA. I was told you can't change the device but you can get the
device using the following...
--CoCreateInstance(IMMDeviceEnumerator)
--IMMDeviceEnumerator->GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(eConsole)
Problem is I don't know what to do with that. I assume it
needs to be compiled with some library (compiler, library, etc... I
don't have)
So... question, is there already an xtra that can get this
information OR... can I pay someone to make an xtra using the above
info?
If you are able/willing to help, please let me know asap as
project is due next week. I can pay you through paypal.
Thank you!!!!!
[email protected]

http://www.schmittmachine.com/asPitchDetect.html
Antoine Schmitt at that url builds Xtras and his
asPitchDetect Xtra can get info on recording devices... try
contacting him and he might be able to help you with a custom Xtra
to get info on playback devices in Vista.

[SOLVED] Setting default audio capture device

I have a USB webcam with a microphone that is recognized by ALSA after the on-board line-in. This is fine in Skype because I can set the capture device to the USB microphone, but Flash seems to only use the first capture device (listing only "Linux Microphone") recognized by ALSA. Is there any way to set the default (presumably, the first) audio capture device, or get Flash to see my USB microhone?

Solved by creating ~/.asoundrc file containing the following:
pcm.usb

pcm.!default
type asym
playback.pcm
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
capture.pcm

How to set preferred audio output device on macbook pro mavericks

I've got a pair of Harman Kardon bluetooth soundsticks that I use as my living room speakers. Some time ago, I connected my macbook pro to them via bluetooth, and now whenever I restart my macbook or move it away from the apartment and then move it back, it automatically finds the soundsticks, connects to it via bluetooth, and sets it as the default sound output device.
I would like the soundsticks to remain connected whenever they're within range, but I want my macbook's internal speakers to be the default sound output even if the soundsticks are connected. I can't seem to set output device preferences in the sound preferences panel.
thanks,

How to set default audio device for java apps on Linux?

I would like to find a way to choose a particular (ALSA) audio device for java applications. How can this be done without reprogramming the application or changing the default ALSA device? I came across "sound.properties", but could not find any information how to use this file on an ALSA system.
Thanks for any help, Mark

Eugenia wrote:Well, it's still not good enough.
We can't satisfy everyone. What you want is a corner case. For most people ALSA and dmix works appropriately, and that is what esd uses by default. We cannot document and automate every configuration possible. That's up to the users.
However, if you don't want to restart gnome, try the below... I make a few assumptions, but even if they're wrong, they're hardly difficult to work around.
Just copy the /etc/esd.conf to ~/.esd.conf, make your change, then do killall esd. Presumably gnome will restart esd, and it ought to read your local config. If it doesnt, start it yourself.
Feel free to write a script that automates this, or document it on the wiki.
I have to restart Gnome to get this thing working. Other OSes *automatically* can use an alternative device. But if I change ESD, I will have to restart Gnome, no?
Well, if you try my suggestion above, no. You can restart esd yourself. And that's what all the other distros do, except with some fancy GUI.

Does not automatically select default audio playback device

***beware: do not purchase the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14 - it is a lemon through and through***
Hi there - I am back again with a new problem:
The laptop does not play through my external speakers when I plug them in, even when I set the external speakers to as the default.
Sometimes, the sound does not come out of anywhere, at all.
Sometimes, it plays sound just fine.
Always a restart fixes the problem.
However, I would like to not have to RESTART THE COMPUTER every time I want something on it to work.
Anyone know a work around? Thankyou,

Open the Realtek audio control panel, click Device advanced settings, and choose classic instead of multistream.

Set default audio track for playback in Source monitor

So I'm an editor that is somewhat new to the profession and I am working on a project right now with close to 100 video clips in my project. Most of the clips have their audio recorded to track 2 but when I load the clips into the source window to find the footage asked for in my script there is no audio playback.
They play fine in the program monitor once placed in a timeline, because I have all the audio tracks are turned on until I do my mastering at the end of the project. To get audio playback in the source monitor I have to change the view option to audio waveform which shows a blank screen because there is no audio on track. I then go to the drop-down menu just below the video display and select track 2 at which point the audio waveform shows up and plays back fine. This isn't too arduous a process and isn't a great burden but it slows my workflow down considerably as I have to repeat the process for each new clip I load into the source monitor.
My question then is if there is anywhere in Premiere that I can set which audio track is the default audio playback track for clips loaded in the source monitor. I work on a lot of similar projects like this for the same client and they don't have the most rigorous standards for their shooters. This problem has come up before and will most assuredly arise again in the future so any tips/advice on how to fix this on my end would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm not really sure.I don't do any shooting for the client and in fact don't have any contact with the shooters, we just do the post. They use a number of different freelance videographers all of whom have different equipment and procedures when it comes to formatting, orginization, etc.

The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work.

Every time I login to KDE through KDM, the notification gives me this message: "The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work. Falling back to default"
Everytime I try to play an audio file, the notification gives me the same message.
But everything else such as system sound, online video work.
What can I do to make it work?
thank you for your help

I have the same problem under the same conditions the original poster described. However, under System Settings -> Multimedia -> Device Preference I don't have default as device listed. The devices I can pick are:
-Esound (ESD)
-HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog)
-HDA Intel, NVIDIA HDMI (HDMI Audio Output)
-Jack Audio COnnection Kit.
I can also pick HDA Intel (NVIDIA HDMI) when I check 'Show advanced devices'
When I use Esound I have sound for a while, until after a random time it falls back to the underlying device, which makes sound disappear. When I use HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog), it falls back immediately on logging in and the other choices do never fall back, but when I use them, I have no sound at all. After I loose sound when Esound falls back to another device, sometimes writing sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart gives sound back, but mostly I need to relog/restart the X-Server to get sound back.
Is my issue related to the original poster his problem? And how can I fix it?

How to set up the output device in output determinatin with customer master

Hi,
I am doing the output determination using customer master and not conditions technique. Can anybody please let me know how to set up the output device . I have done the following:
1) assigned output determination procedure DB00001 to acct group 0001
2) added output type BA00 to customer master documents tab with print as the medium.
3) On creating a sales order and changing it its giving the message
BA00 515 No printer defined for output BA00
Please provide me with some suggestions , how to resolve this issue.
thanx
Jayant

1. tcode V/30 -> check BA00 type -> goto "print" tab -> what's set in the "print param." field?
2. IMG ->SD -> basic functions -> output control -> define print parameters -> V1 output -> for BA00 output type -> Assign a default printer. This is related with the "print param." set in step 1.
For example: if "print parame." is set to '1' in V/30, then the default printer is assigned to sales organization.
You can check F4 search help on the "print param." field (in V/30) to see what options you have.
If you want to specify printer by customer account, you may need to use userexit.

Multiple audio playback devices

I have just built a system using the K7N2-L mainboard and am having a problem with multiple audio playback devices.
Actually I have TWO problems, which are probably unrelated.
I have a 5.1 speaker system connected to the onboard audio and an external USB DAC for playback through a hi-fi system.
The first problem is that the USB audio device is only recognised if it's plugged in after the system is booted. If it's already attached when I power up, it appears not to be properly installed.
The second problem is that when I use the Sounds and Multimedia control panel to switch audio devices (Windows 2000 pro) playback continues through whichever device was used first. In order to switch, I have to reboot the computer.
Another system I built using an Epox nforce board does not have this second problem, although it does have the first. With the Epox board, I can even play through both devices simultaneously.

I gathered this from the handbrake side of things:
You can also combine Pro Logic II and AC3 pass-through. This will give you a file that will play anywhere from QuickTime to VLC to the iPhone (using the AAC Pro Logic II track) and play in true surround sound on an AppleTV or in Perian. It is the best of both worlds, and it is only possible in the .mp4 and .mkv containers. Again, MP4 file names must, confusingly, end in .m4v for QuickTimeto read them. To use this hybrid format, in the Audio tab, set the first audio track to be the track you want, in AAC sound. Then set the second track to also use the same source track, and select AC3 pass-through."
I think this is what will ultimately help me. I will let you know.
the answer was righ under my nose.
Thank you!

Is there a way to have Firefox respect the default audio output device when it has been changed while Firefox is open?

I have been a Firefox user for many years and I still use it as my primary browser. One problem that has bothered me for years is the fact that when Firefox is open and I change my default audio output device, Firefox doesn't respect that change and continues playing audio through the device that was originally being used. Even if you stop the audio and continue playing, the output device doesn't change.
Is there any way this can be configured in Firefox? Now if I listen to music online (e.g. Soundcloud) I always use Chrome since it's respects the default audio output device change even while in the middle of playing audio.
Reproduce:
1. Start playing audio (e.g. from a YouTube video; HTML5 and Flash are affected)
2. Change your default audio output device
3. Audio will continue to play from original output device
Thanks!

This is the same issue that has plagued me for years. I always thought that this was a Flash plugin issue, but it does occur on HTML5 as well. A friend of mine verified that this does not occur in Linux, but only on Windows. It would be great to have this fixed, as it's honestly the only thing that's making me use Chrome all the time, as I don't want to have multiple browsers open.

How to set default values for boolean columns

I'm trying to deploy some content types and columns into a site with a feature. All it's ok, except that I'm trying to set a default value for boolean columns with no success.
I've tried to set default value at column level:
<Field ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DisplayName="Se publican noticias en español"
Type="Boolean" Hidden="FALSE" Group="Columnas ShaCon" >
<Default>TRUE</Default>
</Field>
and at content type level:
<FieldRef ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DefaultValue="TRUE" Required="TRUE" />
But in any case, when i create a new item with this content type, default value is applied.
Can anyone tell how to set default values for boolean columns?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sergio

In the field definition you can set
<Default>1</Default>
or
<Default>0</Default>

How to set default reject reason in VA01 (create sales order)

Hi
Everybody can tell me how to set default reject reason for item in sales order.
in our sap system there are a default reject reason as '90'. We want to set it as "Null".
Thanks
Henry

Hi,
Assigning a default Reason for Rejection is not in standard SAP. I am sure there is some enhancement/user exit which updates the reason for rejection.
Please get the help of an ABAPer, create the sales order in debugging mode and he will find out the logic behind the automatic reason for rejection.
Before that you can find the exits in the include MV45AFZZ for any code related to this.
Hope this helps
