Hi,
My on-board sound card broke the other day, so I had to buy a new pci card. I connected the new pci sound card to my computer, disabled the on-board device through the BIOS and booted the computer and everything worked like a charm.
Then I connected my new logitech webcam which comes with a built-in microphone. I enabled the necessary module for it and restarted the computer and noticed webcam was working alongside its microphone. I tried to listen to music using amarok and it worked well. Tried to watch a movie using smplayer, I couldn't hear anything. Tried VLC and it worked fine. Then on smplayer option I noticed that the sound card it was reading was actually my webcam which has just a microphone and not a speaker. So I set the default device to my PCI card, and sound came right after this change.
I didn't hear anything from 32bin-skype for my 64 bit machine, either. So I went to the setting and selected the right device for it. Did a quick test and both speakers and microphone were working properly.
Now my only problem is Flash. I guess flash's default sound device is set to that of my webcam, that's why I cannot hear anything from youtube or other flash based websites.
Also, I just tried watching one of youtube videos using html5 on chromium, but didn't hear anything either.
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can set chromium or flash default sound device to my pci card?
Also, sine other applications may want to use the sound, I was wondering if there's any way to set the entire system's default sound device to my pci card.
PS. I try to use PalseAudio Device Chooser from gnome-menu to see what it is, but it doesn't open.
Thanks in advance.
