Hi there.
I recently decided to try out Fedora, and installed it on my desktop
computer. It has multiple sound cards, and I blogged about the
process here:
http://blogologue.com/frames?url=http://blogologue.com/blog_entry?id=1506...
Today I looked around in the system settings menu, and found that I
could set the preferred sound device there.
Wouldn't it be a bit easier for a novice user to configure the
preferred sound device from the sound panel in the taskbar? At least
to begin with.
And sound settings is easier to understand than "multimedia".
Regards,
Morten

If you must use nVidia drivers there is a much easier way to do it than you write
about in your blog. The fine folks over at RPMfusion have made it as simply enabling
their repositories and typing "dnf install akmod-nvidia" for all the newer
generation
cards.
The "preferred" sound card can easily be accessed in F26 from the taskbar.
Clicking
on the speaker icon will show "Playback Devices" and the "hamburger"
icon brings up a
menu to select the default device. This is the same in all distros since this all
comes from kde.org.

Are the RPMFusion drivers still way behind?
I raised this a while back and was told that they're not going to update until
audio over HDMI was fixed or similar...
For this reason, I used the negitivo repo for nVidia drivers - as I don't use
any HDMI ports - or audio over them.

Define "way behind". They are at version 375.66-3. And 384.90-1 is in
updates-testing.
I raised this a while back and was told that they're not going to update until

Audion over HDMI is working just fine for me. I don't use it much since the builtin
speakers on my monitors aren't as good as my Bose speakers connected to my sound
card.
For this reason, I used the negitivo repo for nVidia drivers - as I don't use
any HDMI ports - or audio over them.
Another option. Whatever works for you.

Ahhh - maybe they're updating them in updates-testing, but not pushing to the
main repo until whatever target gets reached...

You could always ask on the rpmfusion lists if you're interested. I wouldn't
classify 375.66-3 way old. It seems to me it was installed just a couple of months
ago. Looking at the nVidia website none of the newer versions have any bug fixes
that have any bearing on my cards. And, as I said, HDMI sounds works just fine.
And, if you want the newer versions from rpmfusion they are there to install. I'm in
no rush, but may install them anyway due to boredom. :-)

Well my critique of the NVIDIA setup is critique of NVIDIA, that choose to do
things this way, forcing the distro creators to leave those drivers out.
To me it sounds like NVIDIA wants to exert control and by doing things the
way they are, they are making it more difficult for example for Fedora to
compete.
They are a US-based company after all, as is Microsoft and a host of other
IT companies.

They are. That is why I would recommand, nowdays, to use the Negativo
repositories. The commands to use are described here:

Well is this splintering of NVIDIA driver maintenance something that has
some good reasons or is it simply something like technical purism?
I saw something about 96 DPI in the configuration section of negativo17.org
but didn't quite get what that was about.

some good reasons or is it simply something like technical purism?
As it says on the link, there are some differences between the way the
two are packaged. However, one of the main reasons the negativo17
repository has been popularized as an alternative is because of the
new "third party repository policy" for Fedora, which allows editions
to ship disabled third-party repositories dedicated more or less to a
single package for easier auditing. The Workstation WG wanted to
enable installation of the nvidia driver from inside GNOME Software
directly, but the policy effectively prevents RPM Fusion as currently
constituted from being included: hence the use of the negativo17
repository as an alternative.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_party_software_proposal
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Third_Party_Repository_Policy
There was some discussion about potentially splitting out RPM Fusion's
nvidia driver into a separate repository as well that could be
included under this policy, but it hasn't yet been done.

Both those seem to say that licensing for third-party repos must still
conform to Fedora standards, so I don't see how Negativo17 qualifies.

One of the requirements for non-free repositories is
"Users must be presented with clear information about Fedora
provided/Libre software vs Non-free/3rd party software. "
I'm not sure how to interpret that, but maybe a simple description of
what's going on and a license acceptance is enough?
Anyway I do feel a bit snubbed here, why do I have to jump through
all of these hoops to use an operating system of my choice, when
the card did cost ~140 EUR / ~160 USD 4 years ago, and is an
investment.
Thanks to my experience with Linux I knew to try a different
version branch of NVIDIA's driver when I got problems with Steam.
If I knew this back then, I could've bought a graphics card from a
different vendor.
I've played the proprietary / lock-in game myself with web site
development, but made damn sure the customers could make
use of their investment for a long time.

It is a personal preference for sure. I just have never had an issue with rpmfusion
and the akmod process when a new kernel is introduced. So, frankly, I don't see any
advantage to using a different repo. Besides, it is just a packaging issue and the
driver is still the same driver from nVidia no matter what repo you pick. And the
idea of must having the "latest" driver is often bogus anyway. Unless an

When using Konsole with the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion (or even
direct from Nvidia) do underscores show up when you type them in
Konsole? They don't for me.

Quite possible but I don't see the problem when using nouveau drivers.
Moved away from nouveau because of CTXSW_TIMEOUT errors pretty much
locking up the desktop and requiring a reboot.

The "preferred" sound card can easily be accessed in F26 from the taskbar.
Clicking
on the speaker icon will show "Playback Devices" and the "hamburger"
icon brings up a
menu to select the default device. This is the same in all distros since this all
comes from kde.org.
I believe I did set it there the first time, and that it didn't work.
When I later installed
and enabled an equalizer the sound did work. :\

Hi again, late follow up. But I thought I'd share when I found the
reason for my troubles.
It seems the preferred sound card was the built-in or NVIDIA card,
when I changed
the preferred sound card to the Razor Megalodon, it did change the
preferred sound
card, but I could last week see that applications were still set to
using the initial preferred
sound card.
If the initial sound card gets selected by the distro or installer, I
guess it is confusing
for a user if they change the sound card and nothing happens, or sound
is partially
working in some apps.
Regards,
Morten

If you must use nVidia drivers there is a much easier way to do it than you write
about in your blog. The fine folks over at RPMfusion have made it as simply enabling
their repositories and typing "dnf install akmod-nvidia" for all the newer
generation
cards.
The "preferred" sound card can easily be accessed in F26 from the taskbar.
Clicking
on the speaker icon will show "Playback Devices" and the "hamburger"
icon brings up a
menu to select the default device. This is the same in all distros since this all
comes from kde.org.
