Reader: "Advise against Mint as it has both systemd and pulseaudio."

In Response To: Anyone here really understand how to configure Linux's ALSA...? (hobie)

(Thanks, a. :)

(Firefox as of 60.7.0esr does not require PulseAudio, works fine with ALSA alone. Logitech USB Webcam has a mike, alsamixer shows it as present. I have Dissenter browser also on board. I'll happily avoid Skpe if I can; it'll depend on what the person on the other end can connect with.)

Reader anon offers:

***************************************************************************

generic linux ALSA + distro + app tips

Advise against Mint as it has both systemd and pulseaudio. They're both bad code, written by the same awful coder, who works for RedHat, which lives on spook contracts, and wants to own Linux. Some people think it's an actual front company.

If on Debian, you have systemd, too bad. Don't add pulseaudio if possible to avoid. Some apps like Firefox or Skype will drag it in like a wet cat. I think Firefox lately requires pulseaudio no matter what distro. Try Brave browser instead. Not sure about its requirements.

If you like Debian, try MX Linux or antiX for older hardware. No systemd. PCLinuxOS also very good for average humans. AVLinux is sweet, but has systemd (?), becuz Debian does, but hey! still nice desktop with lotta audio THAT ISN'T PULSE BECAUSE AUDIO GEEKS KNOW PULSE SUCKS. If you feel adventuresome and have geek help, Void or Obarun reign supreme, but need network install methods; not simple install for desktop, + installers suck on geek distros, cuz geeks gotta be geeks.

Moving on, typ. don't need much ALSA config. Search term you want is

alsa configuration tutorial

Main thing to know, you may have to create a config file that doesn't exist. No dialog for making one, just open a text editor and save. Typical names are "asound.conf" or ".asoundrc" etc. Exact name depends on distro, just ask on the forum for the distro. There's usually a system-wide config and a per-user config BUT neither file may exist. You don't need both, either one will work by itself. In case of having both one will take priority over the other and settings will merge according to that.

Webcam prolly has nothing to do with ALSA, cuz it's not an audio device, but video. If it's USB that's something else again, you need some sort of way for talking to it, that isn't ALSA. Microphones should be recognized and the tuts will teach you how to list them.

Avoid Skype, it's PRISM spyware. Look at qtox.github.io + retroshare.net as alternatives, qtox prolly best for calls and chat in realtime sense, retroshare for deferred messages and file sharing.
