2 audio cards - how to redirect audio streams?

English Hardware
#1

Hi,

on my PC I have 2 sound drivers, one from the mainboard (AC97) and one PCI card (ES1969). Because the mainboard sound path did not recording, I installed the PCI sound card and with 11.1, I managed it to play and record all audio data.

With 11.2 the PCI sound path plays the system sounds (suse start-up or shut-down sounds) but not the streaming audio data (skype, flash player). But these are played by the mainboard audio instead.

The audio-tests from yast->hardware->sound work for both paths.

How should I configure the system to redirect the audio streams to the desired (PCI) audio path?

The PCI audio is set as primary sound card and is not muted.

Thanks.

Willy

In KDE - Personal Settings (Configure Desktop) have option to set sound device per application or system events

/usr/bin/systemsettings -caption “Personal Settings” -icon preferences-system

->Computer Administration->Multimedia

In such a case, I usually disable on board audio in the BIOS setup. It makes everything easier under Linux.
