Ubuntu ships with pulseaudio and at the same time does not offer any (gui, at least) configuration tool to choose your sound card. This affects any user who has more than one sound device.
The easiest solution at the moment seems to be the following: -install pavucontrol -go to the "Output Devices" Tab in pavucontrol, click on the arrow next to your preferred card and check "Default" -if you still cannot hear your stream, go to "Playback" Tab, click on the arrow next to your stream and "Move Stream..." to your preferred output device So the current situation requires everyone with more than one soundcard to research and install extra packages. Since Pulseaudio has become default, i guess the solution would be something like integrating or linking "gnome-sound-properties" and "pavucontrol" in a way that naive users (like me) can deal with ;-) -- The user cannot select sound card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229137 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
