    stratos@homepc:~$ sudo asoundconf list
    Names of available sound cards:
    NVidia
    U0×46d0×8d9
    stratos@homepc:~$ sudo asoundconf set-default-card NVidia
    stratos@homepc:~$

  2. I have the folowgin problem with this instruction.
    I find out that the file: /etc/asound.conf does not exist. How do i get to change this if there is no asound.conf file?

    Thanks for the answer.
