          asound.conf

          that file is called .asoundrc
          it is typically in the users home folder (/home/pi)… note that that the name starts with a dot (.)

            @chris also when i tried to do the second line of the pulseaudio install, i got

            pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install pauvcontrol gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
            Reading package lists... Done
            Building dependency tree        
            Reading state information... Done
            E: Unable to locate package pauvcontrol
            

            what do i do to fix this, thanks!

            Hello,

            it is actually pavucontrol and not pauvcontrol as yawms rightly pointed out.

            the .asound.conf file is a hidden file. right-click in the file explorer window and choose to show hidden files. Normally it will appear.

            In any case, if there is no sudo nano command .asound.conf in the terminal will create this file.

            as sdetweil tells you, stick to the point at the beginning of the file.

            Regards,

              @chris @sdetweil @yawns I was able to edit the asoundrc file, but the .conf file wasn’t showing up as I was looking with the hidden files on, the only asound.conf files I could find were asound.conf.swp and asound.conf.save. I’m also kind of confused about how to save a new file in the terminal if I do the sudo nano method, because I was able to get into etc/ from there but it was only trying to have to overwrite a file, not create a new one, if there is a way to create a new file altogether for asound.conf, then I would like to know how to do that because it’s not appearing in hidden files and when I make the file in the terminal it seems like I can only overwrite. Thank you!

                @jmartin1009 to make a new file, just rename the existing one to something else (asound.conf.save) and then create a new file

                  @sdetweil when I try to edit the name of the asound.conf.save file in order to create a new around.conf file, it tells me I don’t have permission to do it, or to delete it or really do anything with the file as well as that I don’t have permission to make a new file in the /etc/ folder. What do I do?

                    @jmartin1009 nevermind I didn’t realize that entire time if I hit enter it would just make the file 🤦🏻‍♂️ I thought I had to go into files and everything, thank you!
