I have set the USB device on my Raspberry Pi to default. The file /lib/modprobe.d/aliases.conf:

options snd-pcsp index=-2
options snd-usb-audio index=0
options cx88_alsa index=-2
options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2
options snd_bcm2835 index=1

That worked out great, till I rebooted raspbian. After the reboot, the USB is not longer default.

But, The device is still displayed as default.

aplay -l:

cat /proc/asound/cards:

                      bcm2835 ALSA

In the raspbian gui in the top right corner at sounds, the USB device is also selected.

But when I play a Youtube video or play music with omxplayer, there is no Sound. When I start the vlc player, bcm2835 is selected. If i switch it to the usb device, then i can hear the sound with the vlc player only. When I open the pavumeter, the bcm2835 is also selected as the device. It used the USB device before.

UPDATE: A workaround is blacklisting the bcm2835 device:

  • Add blacklist snd_bcm2835 in /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf

  • PulseAudio remembers which card is the default. Try pavucontrol. – CL. Apr 05 '19 at 13:39
  • pavucontrol shows me which audio device is used for the application and let me hanges this for the application. But how can i set this up for all applications global, that alle applications using the usb device instead of bcm2835? – micharaze Apr 05 '19 at 13:46
  • @raze92, there are multiple answers here, some relatively old, some more recent. Have you tried the options described there? – David Apr 05 '19 at 23:13
  • @David, thank you! Blacklisting the bcm2835 is a workaround, but not the optimal solution. But I will continue to work with it for now. – micharaze Apr 08 '19 at 09:57
