Which tool do I use to redirect audio to the correct display...
...now that YaST2 sound is dead? Both DisplayPort display and HDMI-1 display have speakers.

With bare ALSA that can be a bit of challenge. Is it intentional that you use it? With pulseaudio or pipewire-pulseaudio it's quite easy to just select the default output. In KDE it's few mouse clicks away: https://kde.org/content/plasma-desktop/plasma-systemtray.png

And how did you do it with YaST2 sound? I am really curious.

Your desktop environment should normally provide GUI to control it. E.g. in GNOME I can select between output to internal speakers or HDMI connected TV. This has advantage of (theoretically) working with any backend, supported by DE. De-facto standard for audio output today is PulseAudio (even pipewire recommends using PulseAudio on client side) so if you need more fine grained control - install pavucontrol. If you are on bare metal with nothing above kernel - I do not know. I assume it is possible to configure ALSA directly but it was always mystery to me. ...

Well, some software (like mpv) supports pipewire directly, but I guess using pulseaudio as client would be easier.

You can set one card as default, or disable another. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)

This could only work when using ALSA directly which was not the case for I lost count of how many years. And in this case there is just one card with multiple outputs, so none of the above applies.

Using XFCE, I click on the volume icon in the panel, which in my case it is the "pulse audio plugin". Clicking on it displays the volume slider itself plus controls for each application that sent sound recently (or not recently, it displays amarok which I used a year ago). The bottom item is "audio mixer" which opens as "Volume Control" with several tabs. The rightmost tab is "Configuration", in which I see two sound hardwares: Ellesmere HDMI Audio [Radeon 470/580/590] Profile -> Off Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller Profile -> Analog Stereo Output -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

The package pavucontrol is probably the best solution if you don't want to use the stuff built into your desktop, in the "Playback" tab you can choose which device each app goes to. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

On ALSA you need to redirect through $HOME/.asoundrc, or the system wide config file. You would be best off with an sound server like pulsaudio. But jackd/jackdbus works too. You have pipewire installed, just enable it. Anyway, for ALSA, try this. Check your? $ aplay -L If the card is called PCH and HDMI-1 is 1 put this in $HOME/.asoundrc defaults.pcm.!card PCH defaults.pcm.!device 1 defaults.ctl.!card PCH If not change the card name and the device number accordingly. You can also test your way through the cards and ports with: aplay -D hw:0,0 yoursoundtestfile.wav aplay -D hw:0,1 yoursoundtestfile.wav and so on. -- /bengan
