Try editing /etc/asound.conf
and changing:
pcm.softvol_and_pivumeter {
type softvol
slave.pcm "pivumeter"
control {
name "PCM"
card 0
}
}
to:
pcm.softvol_and_pivumeter {
type softvol
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
control {
name "PCM"
card 0
}
}
If yours is different, then you can use/change the file here. Sound will work if you just simply remove asound.conf, but it’s also used for software volume.
