[SLOVED] No sound in firefox after sound card change

I started using my nvidia HDMI card as my sound card but now firefox/flash doesn't have any sound, either native 64bit or in a 32bit chroot. I really don't know what to do, as sound works fine in all other programs.

Firefox throws this error when run from terminal:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

Re: [SLOVED] No sound in firefox after sound card change

I figured it out. I need to edit /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf so that it uses my other sound card. I have to edit both the conf in the 64bit install as well as the one in the 32bit chroot.
