Hi Paul

The file is exactly as quoted, nothing commented out. Its the last section
that selects the actual device to use as the default. I'm sure some of the
file is redundant but it at least documents all the capabilities of the
sound system.

One thing to note however, the name of the file is ".asoundrc" - note the
leading dot and no dot within the name itself. It belongs in the users
home directory.

The same file contents can also be used (where it will apply to all users
if you have more than one) in the '/etc' directory in a file named
'alsa.conf'. In that case nothing is required in the home directory.

Cheers
