[xubuntu-users] Dell XPS, Realtek audio switched to wrong output device

[Rob Ward]

Hi Junius,

I have used PulseAudio Volume Control in "Applications menu- Multimedia" 
to set the audio channels. I also had to specifically set the Chromium 
settings in this area to get catchup-tv and youtube etc to work across 
the HDMI. Could be worth a look.

On another note, how did you get the computer spec's dump? I would like 
to be able to do that on my four machines for a quick comparison.

Cheers, Rob
