Re: [orca-list] maybe an old topic: no sound on linux because of HDMI and other things

Has someone written a script or something to detect the sound cards,
playing something (maybe with espeak) like a number or something and
then be able to enter that number so the right card can be used to set
it as the default card.

I know Talking Arch has a sound card selection script that does what you want. You can find it on its live 
media.
