Alternate sound configurations can be set in /etc/pluto.conf. MOST sound cards should work out of the box, and do not require this parameter. This parameter may be written by /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh for various GT chipsets. This can be done at avwizard on the Audio Selector step 5, or at any time by running /usr/pluto/bin/SetupAudioVideo.sh NOTE: Audio should NOT be actively playing when running SetupAudioVideo.sh.
Auto-detection is attempted when specific packages are installed, or if the pluto.conf "AlternateSC" setting is null or = 0. In most cases, this value will never exist.
Below are example /etc/asound.conf files generated by these configurations. /etc/pluto/xine.conf files borrow the card# and device# (if any) in the same way as the asound.conf
AlternateSC = null : Most cards function without this parameter, this is the default state.
- Analog, Optical, Coax and HDMI are treated the way they always have been, given only the card# to write to the confs.
- nVidia GT series HDMI is automatically detected, and given a special set of values, also using the card# and the device#.
AlternateSC = 1 : Should only be necessary for analog multi-channel.
- Analog Multi-channel are given the card# and the device# to write to the confs.
AlternateSC = 2 : Should only be necessary for oddballs that do not work under other two schemes, covers older equipment. This additionally changes the xine.conf scheme.
- Analog, Optical, Coax, HDMIare given an extended scheme, including both the card# and device#.

In conditions of null, 0 values of AlternateSC for multi-channel audio, the last 4 lines of /etc/pluto/xine.conf looks like this
audio.device.alsa_front_device:plughw:0,3 audio.device.alsa_default_device:plughw:0,3 audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:plughw:0,3
In the case AlternateSC = 1, some sound cards cease functioning when the Pass Through arrangement is specified, instead of just the passthrough device.
audio.device.alsa_front_device:plughw:0,3 audio.device.alsa_default_device:plughw:0,3 audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:plughw:0,3
All stereo analog appears like so:
audio.device.alsa_front_device:plughw:0,0 audio.device.alsa_default_device:plughw:0,0 audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Stereo 2.0
Except in the case of 2, when it appears like so:
audio.device.alsa_front_device:hw:0 audio.device.alsa_default_device:hw:0 audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Stereo 2.0
