=Selecting the Primary Audio Device=
If your system keeps on using the wrong device (HDMI instead of PCH or vica versa for example), you can force ALSA to use the correct device.  Start by getting a list of your audio devices with the command:
cat /proc/asound/cards
Note the number of the sound device that you want to make the primary. Then using a [[Viewing_and_editing_configuration_files|text editor]], put the following into '''/etc/asound.conf''' (You may need to create '''/etc/asound.conf''' if it doesn't already exist).
  defaults.pcm.card 1
  defaults.ctl.card 1
Replace 1 in the above example with the number you noted down above.
