I have two soundcards:
1) ESI Juli@ (used as default, snd-ice1724, no microphone input)
2) HDA Intel (snd-hda-intel)
Juli is set as default through /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
Everything is OK with mplayer, flash, gstreamer apps are also OK.
Some apps, like empathy, works well with gnome sound settings. I mean, they used ESI Juli@ for playback and HDA Intel for microphone input when voice chatting as I set them up through System->Preferences->Sound.
But some playback through build in HDA Intel - absolutely all games I've ever tried: Sauerbraten, Worsow, Wormux, X-Moto, etc. Ekiga doesn't work too, inspite of the fact I've set up alsa, then ESI for playback and HDA Intel for input. Absolutely no sound.
PS When I was installing Ubuntu 8.10, I didn't turn off integrated card in the bios, and it usually was the first device after reboot.
I've managed to reproduce similar behaviour with Ekiga at another computer: It has ASUS Xonar DX and HDA Intel. I switched off integrated sound card when installing and there were no such issues. But I can't use my Dr.Dac2 USB Audio device in Ekiga too, although everything is OK with the music playback through gstreamer apps. |

If the problem is that sound is played back (or recorded) through the wrong soundcard, you might be able to solve this by either:
1) deleting (or backup) the files in the .pulse directory (under your home directory), especially volume-restore.table (which contains per-application soundcard and volume settings), or
2) move the stream with the application pavucontrol.
If this worked for you, please set the bug status to "Invalid", if it didn't, set it back to "New". Thanks! |

Suggested approach works for my USB audio (but I can't call it user friendly), but doesn't work for PCI Juli. I've spent more than a week trying to resolve this issue: alsa configs (seems doesn't work at all), than pulse audio gui approach (very buggy, crashes, etc), works, but not stable and always in different way (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't). Before this expirience I though Linux is ready, today I see it doesn't. |
