OK, so now you have set your "normal" sound card to Off. Is this intended?<br></blockquote><div><br>I thought it was one, or the other. Can I have both àt the same time? What for?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Normally I'd expect you to want to keep both cards available but only<br>
use the one you want at any given time.<br></blockquote><div><br>I didn't even know there were 2 cards in that laptop when I bought it. I only want the HDMI to work properly so I can listen to some music in good conditions. Why would I want to use the "bad" audio card?<br>

Anyway, Firefox is able to output sound, but is that sound going to your<br>
normal sound card or to your HDMI?<br></blockquote><div><br>My guess is it goes to the "normal" one, as I barely hear anything with the volume at 100%. Any other way to know for sure?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
If your normal sound card then firefox is bypassing PA and accessing the<br>
h/w directly. THis can cause other apps to not be able to ouput.<br>
<br>
In your listing, I do not see any "Sink Input" (i.e. playback streams),<br>
so that suggests no app is actually playing audio via PA at the time you<br>
grabbed it. I would suggest that something is not configured correctly<br>
at that level (e.g. are you apps using alsa output and is alsa not<br>
configured correctly to use the PA plugin? If possible configure the<br>
apps to use PA directly rather than going via the alsa plugin)<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I don't know what alsa is (and I don't know much more about pulseaudio ...)<br>Why are there 2 different programs? And how are the other applications supposed to know which one to use? I have looked at the settings in GMusicBrowser, RythmBox and VLC and didn't find anything that seems related to alsa or pulseaudio; so I don't know how to configure these applications.<br>
