+# AUDIO
+
+## PURE ALSA
+
+Here is how to get sound on a minimal install without the insanity of pulseaudio:
+
+1. 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.
