[gentoo-user] automatically set default alsa card

2008-04-24 Thread luis jure

on my laptop sometimes i have to use the internal sound card and
sometimes an external usb card. 

is there a gentoo way to make alsa automatically change the default
audio device to the usb card when it's connected and active, and back
to the internal card when it's not?

best,

lj

We had this several times in the past few months. You might want to look
at the list's archive on http://www.gmane.org/

Log story short: Yes, it's possible but not very nice. Better use a
sound daemon that was created for such purposes like Pulseaudio.
