Hello, this is very strange. Till now I could set the default soundcard via the control centre or via alsamixer in the command line. I chiefly use two external usb DACs (Musical Fidelity MX-DAC & Mytek stereo 192 usb dac. Both these and the inbuild audio were recognized and worked fine. Suddenly (maybe after an upgrade, last or previous) they are recognized fine, they can be set, but the sound test doesn't work and the computers seems to be w/o a soundcard. Criterion for this: pysol cannot open, b/c it needs a sound card to be defined. So, they appear to be set, but actually they cannot be set. Now, the strange thing is that all apps in which I can manually define the sound card (Audacious, VLC etc) work fine and produce sound, maybe because of direct connection to the respective card. Is there any way to resolve this issue? Most of all I can't watch youtube videos with browser and cannot play my favorite pysol.
Thanks.

suggested troubleshooting step: with web browser(s) NOT running, visit
ControlPanel --} Hardware --}"Set Default Sound Card"
then launch web browser and recheck.

OK, I'll troubleshoot when I'm back to Antix. Thank you for the suggestion.
