To view all available ALSA devices run the command aplay -l. You sould see something like that:
$ aplay -l **** Liste der Hardware-Geräte (PLAYBACK) **** Karte 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], Gerät 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Karte 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], Gerät 1: ALC888 Digital [ALC888 Digital] Sub-Geräte: 1/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0 Karte 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], Gerät 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] Sub-Geräte: 0/1 Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0
In this case the HDMI audio output is device 3 on card 1. To set this as the default ALSA output, create the file /etc/asound.conf with the following content:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 1 # HDMI card number
device 3 # HDMI device number
}
}
Just restart yor PC. That's it!
