In that ticket it suggests setting the audio device to ALSA: nopulse
and putting this in .asoundrc

pcm.nopulse {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.nopulse {
type hw
card 0

}


Why is this different than setting ALSA:default
and setting this in asound.conf (and erasing .asoundrc)?

pcm.!default {
       type hw
       card 0
   }

ctl.!default {
     type hw
     card 0
}
