   I have made a breakthrough. If I manually start pulseaudio & I   
   get the followin error message:   
      
   Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" argument: device = hw: 1,7"   
   initialization failed.   
      
   I need to change the argument to device = hw: 1,3   
      
   Any ideas of where the command comes from and how to change it?
