I am trying sndio again, on a fresh install of Void Linux (rolling release). $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Generic ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic HD-Audio Generic at 0xd05c8000 irq 82 1 [Generic_1 ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic HD-Audio Generic at 0xd05c0000 irq 83 2 [U192k ]: USB-Audio - UMC404HD 192k BEHRINGER UMC404HD 192k at usb-0000:08:00.3-1, high speed I am using my Behringer USB sound card as default. Not much information on the subject, and it has been some years since I tried sndio last, and couldn't remember what I did with the sound card, so I asked Google's AI. In the end, a configuration that seemed to work is the following: # touch /etc/sv/sndiod/conf # echo 'OPTS="-f rsnd/2"' > /etc/sv/sndiod/conf This seemed to be stable over a number of system restarts, using both Epiphany and Waterfox. Most of the browser audio is either connected with YouTube, or tomplay.com. The later apparently uses audio over web for backing tracks to it's music scores. Unfortunately, Waterfox has started not cooperating with either service, while Epiphany seems a bit more consistent. It should be noted that alsa-lib is installed on my system, but not alsa packages. Sndio is the only audio server. I am first and foremost interested on getting feedback as to whether creating the conf file was the recommended way of getting my USB sound card as default audio output source, but also any other advice that is relevant.Received on Sat Mar 21 2026 - 11:01:53 CET
