kelargo (kelong-2000) wrote : sound applet does not display all alsa hw sound

this is a laptop computer. unable to disable sound source 00-03 in bios.
want to listen to sound from 01-00, currently, no sound is heard on the laptop at all because sound is sourced from hdmi hw only.

$ cat /proc/asound/pcm
00-03: HDMI 0 : HDMI 0 : playback 1
01-00: STAC92xx Analog : STAC92xx Analog : playback 1 : capture 1

created this entry to make and STAC92xx analog the default sound source.
this shows up in alsamixer by default now --
$ cat /etc/asound.conf
defaults.ctl.card 1
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.timer.card 1

when I got in the system settings -> sound devices.. only the HDMI hardware sound device is appearing. I do not want to hear sound from this device.

This system config applet needs to display both sound devices and permit any user (non-admin) the ability to change the hardware device that you hear sound from.
