USB Headphone problem

[rpcarnell]

I am having a problem with my USB headphones and Debian.

I can listen to music with my headphoners in MPlayer and XMMS, since I have the ability to choose the device I want to use in them.

But I can't listen to yotube videos without having to turn on the speakers, and Totem and Ogle have the same problem.

I have done almost everything. Typing alsamixer -c 1 solves nothing.

aplay -l gives me this:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: V8235 [VIA 8235], device 0: VIA 8235 [VIA 8235]
Subdevices: 3/4
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
card 0: V8235 [VIA 8235], device 1: VIA 8235 [VIA 8235]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: default [C-Me

dia USB Audio Device ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1

The weird thing is that C-Media USB Audio Device is the default device here. Why are Totem, Ogle and Youtube plugins using the other one?

The sound file in /etc/modprobe.d has this:

alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
options snd-via82xx index=0
options snd_usb_audio index=1

If I change the order in options and re-start again, then there's no sound. not even in XMMS and Mplayer, which is even weirder.

Does anyone know what's going on?

hmmm so you have two sound cards. Just from curiosity post the

lscpi

I guess the sound cards you have: one is on usb and one onboard. Try to turn off the onboard sound card from bios and see if it works.

I don't understand how this is relevant to anything. :/

I haven't tried altering the BIOS yet.

Thanks anyway.
