Help.. Nvidia GPU trumps my soundcard..
Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2019 9:38 pm
Hi All..
Tried KXstudio a year ago, could not get any sound out if it so ended up with Linux Mint.. Fast forward to today and I took the plunge again and now have KXstudio on my system again, and again.. no sound..
Refused to give up this time and I think I have finally narrowed it down to my Nvidia 1080 constantly showing up as the default sound device.. Have been seeing an unbelievable amount of posts with folk having the same probs. Lot of peeps thought Nvidia would make a simple switch in the driver to turn the GPU audio off, but it does not not look like that has happened..
My sound card is a Scarlett 2i4 USB and I need to configure my system so that it is the default sound card, and ideally, I would like to stop KXstudio from thinking my Nvidia is anything other than my graphics card..
Apologies if this has been dealt with before, have waded through a lot of posts on this forum trying to find something similar and have spent a fair while trying to go through the extensive user guide for KXstudio, which has resulted in more heat than light..
Could be wrong, but I think I have to alter a .conf file (alsa-config?) but being utterly new to KXstudio, I really dont want to start off in the wrong direction..
Any help please? Not used to my computer being silent..!
