It tricked me! First of all I had to compile alsa as modules. Then I had to |
| 77 |
invert the devices by adding this in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf: |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
options snd cards_limit=2 |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
options snd-hda-intel id=Generic_1 index=0 #analogue |
| 82 |
options snd-hda-intel id=Generic index=1 #HDMI |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
AND then I had to also reboot. Just restarting alsasound didn't have the |
| 86 |
desired result. It now works as desired. |
