Re: [SOLVED] Alsa not working on new installation

You had posted this topic twice.  Assuming it was an error, I deleted the other thread.

Re: [SOLVED] Alsa not working on new installation

$ aplay -L | grep :CARD

That grep filters away very useful info, like which device alsa sees as the default card.
post full output of aplay -lL please.

Re: [SOLVED] Alsa not working on new installation

From logistics of the output your actual card is at least on index 1, but yes post the full output, safe guess

speaker-test -Dhw:1,0 -c2

Re: [SOLVED] Alsa not working on new installation

Hi,
I changed my ~/.asoundrc to:

defaults.ctl.card 1;
defaults.pcm.card 1;

and it worked .

So many thanks for your help,
I marked this post as solved.
