Erase .asoundrc in your home directory and asound.conf in /etc. + +2. Purge pulseaudio. And when I mean purge, I mean it. + +3. Identify your available devices in /proc/asound/modules, do: +`$ cat /proc/asound/modules` + +As an example here is my /proc/asound/modules: +`0 snd_usb_audio` +`1 snd_hda_intel` + +4. Select from the above and put them in the order you want in the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, by assigning an index from -2 to 2, making the preferred output the lowest number. As I know I have two devices I want the one that says usb because that is my headphone, so in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf I put: +`options snd_usb_audio enable=1 index=0` +`options snd_hda_intel index=1` + +Notice the index. + +5. Restart the computer. + +6. To run Firefox without pulseaudio install apulse. Go to about:config and enter "__/dev/snd/__" under __security.sandbox.content.read_path_whitelist__ and __security.sandbox.content.write_path_whitelist;/dev/snd/__. + +7. To use firefox with this setting issue the command: +`$ apulse firefox` + +8. Save it in a script or .desktop file to automate this.
