From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050328 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-3 Description of problem: My machine has an on-board audio device and I have added a USB Headset. I am unable to set the USB Headset as the primary audio device. It is listed in the pull down to change the audio device, but when I exit the application, the on-board is still the default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-soundcard-1.2.10-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a machine that has an onboard audio card(AC97), add a USB headset. 2. Run the soundcard-detection program 3. Set the default audio device to the USB headset. 4. Play something music like. Actual Results: When you play a song or some kind of music, the output will still stay on the on-bpard audio device. In addition, if you re-run the soundcard-detection application, the on-board will be the default again. Expected Results: Audio should come out the USB headset, if the application is using ALSA. Also, the soundcard-detection application should reflect that the default audio device is the USB headset, not the on-board AC97 device. Additional info: I am running FC4T1 on a Dell Latitude D800. The USB headset(which works just fine BTW), is a Plantronics DSP 300. /etc/modprobe.conf looks like this: alias eth0 tg3 alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-card-0 index=0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0install snd-usb-audio /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-usb-audio && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
This is a "not saving sound settings" bug, so possibly a dupe of bug 132575.
FWIW, the same weirdness happens with an external USB sound card (Soundblaster MP3+) combined with an AC97 internal card.
I am not savvy enough to determine if this is a duplicate of 132575. However, that one references volume settings which appear to be fine on both devices for my machine. I am more interested in the the changing of the default sound device, which definitely is not a duplicate issue. Please let me know how this issue is caused by the aforementioned bug. I just don't see the issue that I am seeing being described in 132575.
