But, in the pulse volume volume control app I have 2 output devices: "Built-in audio ..." which I have muted and "PCM2902..." which is the USB device. I've clicked on the "set as fallback" button, but that really doesn't seem to do anything.<br>

If I simply do an "aplay file.wav" the file plays to the external device (I'm assuming that hitting <make default> might have something to do with this). So, figuring all is well ...<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
