   Ever since I switched from 14.2 to 15.0 I have not had sound   
   under the chrome browser.   
      
   This morning I have spent 5 hours trying to setup pulseaudio without   
   any success.   
      
   mplayer works using:   
   /usr/bin/mplayer -alang en  -fs -ao alsa:device=plughw=1.3  ...   
      
   mpv works without specifying any audio   
      
      
   Going back to alsa, the Gemini AI tells me to invoke chrome as:   
   google-chrome --alsa-output-device=plughw:1,3 ....   
      
   I run chrome as root, and here is my invocation for fluxbox:   
   exec /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --alsa-output-device=plughw:1,3   
   --window-size=1875,1050+0+0 --window-position=0,25 >/dev/null  &   
      
   I have created the file /etc/asound.conf:   
   pcm.!default {   
       type plug   
       slave.pcm "hw:1,3"   
   }   
   ctl.!default {   
       type hw   
       card 1   
   }   
      
   according to Gemini.   
      
   I look at alsamixer, use F6 to set the NVIDIA card and   
   it is there and unmuted.   
      
   I then do:   
   alsactl store   
      
      
   When I try to start rc.alsa I get:   
      
   Loading ALSA mixer settings:  /usr/sbin/alsactl restore   
   alsa-lib parser.c:242:(error_node) UCM is not supported for this HDA model   
   (HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7720000 irq 46)   
   alsa-lib main.c:1405:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) error: failed to import hw:0 use   
   case configuration -6   
   alsa-lib parser.c:242:(error_node) UCM is not supported for this HDA model   
   (HDA NVidia at 0xf7080000 irq 17)   
   alsa-lib main.c:1405:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) error: failed to import hw:1 use   
   case configuration -6   
      
   First off, the HDS Intel stuff is for the onboard hdmi, not the NVidia.   
      
   What is happening?   
      
   Again, thanks for any help.
