How do i check that?

an example https://www.codejam.info/2015/05/firefox-hello-alsa-and-webcam-microphone.html

that’s 2015, firefox has dropped support for alsa since then

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/52.0/releasenotes/

Version 52.0, first offered to Release channel users on March 7, 2017

On Linux, Firefox now requires PulseAudio to play sound and no longer plays sound directly with ALSA.

there is probably some pulseaudio to alsa translation layer you could use but at that point, I am not sure why you would even insist on using alsa only

my point is using alsa directly is not a practical stance

even for simple cases, you will end up doing a lot of config and shit

as I said it can be used if the setup is simple. I dont even record my mic. so its enough for me and it works with less config too

only for the dmix thingy

and pulseaudio thing now

and when you want to mute one app

yep , i’d suggest pulseaudio but if the user just uses the speaker/earphones then alsa XD

even if the user “just” uses speaker/earphones, only alsa will be a pain point

dunno anyone who wouldn’t be using a browser

no, only the dmix config is needed

getting the mic work will require some config, but im not talking about that

speaker/earphones will work by default, just check stuff in alsamixer

umm, they won’t work if you are using any of apps which don’t support direct audio to alsa. I feel like we are going around in circles.

MIC i think, audio play works. tested rn

read the last line here

hm, but im able to play audio with no config at all ( no dmix config too ) , try it yourself

you might be using apulse

not gonna break my current config to try this ¯_(ツ)_/¯

this one is very confusing cant get the navigations

you cant play multiple audio at the same time with alsa

in firefox

or any other browser

how do i check that? if its a pulseaudio thing then no, ive got all such packages removed

u can with dmix ._.

i mean, you still need a separate program right?

no

i just use vi mode in zsh

same

i combine tho

dont like, like entering Esc etc.. doesnt feel write inside a shell

it’s useful
