   After updating my Slack 64 bit 14.2 with slackpkg I have lost   
   sound with the Chrome browser. I also found that pulseaudio   
   became the default sound. One suggestion for restoring sound   
   was to disable pulseaudio, which I did by chmoding -x rc.pulseaudio   
   and killall pulseaudio. That did not give me sound. I changed   
   my /etc/asound.conf to:   
      
   # ALSA system-wide config file   
   # By default, redirect to PulseAudio:   
   #pcm.default pulse   
   #ctl.default pulse   
   pcm.!default {   
       type hw   
       card 1   
       device 3   
       }   
   ctl.!default {   
       type hw   
       card 1   
       }   
   pcm.headset {   
           type bluetooth   
   }   
      
   ctl.headset {   
           type bluetooth   
   }   
      
   I want all my sound sources to output to HDMI output   
   on my NVidia sound card. I have mplayer and MPV working   
   but I am able to specify the sound device upon invocation.   
   The browser doesn't have a -ao option.

   mplayer and mpv will not play with card 1 device 7, but   
   they will play with device 3.   
      
   I would appreciate any suggestions.   
      
   Thanks.
