Subject: [gentoo-user] ALSA forgot default device

1 After a recent update ALSA stopped working. Apparently, ALSA now
2 defaults to a device that doesn't work (fails to open, or just hangs).
3
4 On Gentoo, with OpenRC, how do you configure the default board/device
5 for ALSA?
6
7 I've asked Google, and all the links it comes up with are for sites
8 that are broken because of PHP or database failures (e.g. wiki.gentoo.org
9 and forums.gentoo.org).
10
11 The usual fallback is wiki.archlinux.org, but its instructions to
12 place the following in /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc doesn't work:
13
14 defaults.pcm.card 1
15 defaults.ctl.card 1
16
17 Likewise the wiki.archlinux.org advice to set ALSA_CARD to the card
18 name shown by aplay -l also doesn't work.
19
20 How do you set the devault card/device for ALSA on Gentoo?
