Since I performed a reinstallation of a Debian (latest stable Wheezy) on my laptop, I am now unable to make use of my second external sound interface, as I used before. Many things are already working : - alsa recognizes both interfaces : <big><tt>> more /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xd7000000 irq 45 1 [H46 ]: USB-Audio - Hercules DEEJAY TRIM 4&6 Hercules Hercules DEEJAY TRIM 4&6 at usb-0000:00:1a.7-4.4, full speed</tt></big> - alsaplayer can correctly play a sound on both interfaces : <tt>> alsaplayer -d hw:0,0 audio.wav > alsaplayer -d plughw:1,0 audio.wav</tt> (note the 'plughw' that seems to be necessary to avoid some 'Unavailable hw params' error) - my .asoundrc looks like this <tt>pcm:!default { type plug slave.pcm { type hw card 1 device 0 subdevice 0 } }</tt> - gstreamer-properties test button plays a sound on the card #1 when the plugin is "ALSA" But the problems are : 1. gstreamer-properties test button plays a sound on the card #0 when the plugin is "Auto detection" 2. even when the plugin is "ALSA", rhythmbox and decibel-audio-player (who both rely on gstreamer) are using the card #0 and that is unexpected I would be grateful for your help !
