[SIP Beyond VoIP] alsa sound device problem with sipclients

[Dan Pascu]

Your .asoundrc file can disable/hide certain devices. It is possible you have some settings in yours that do so. As for not seeing the devices you defined in your .asoundrc, you need to make them visible by adding a hint. Here is an example of a virtual device defined in .asoundrc that is visible in sipsimple. The relevant setting is the 'show on' line inside the hint section. Try adding that hint to the devices you want to see in sipsimple:

pcm.loopback {
  type asym
  playback.pcm "hw:Loopback,0,2"
  capture.pcm "hw:Loopback,1,2"
  hint {
    show on
    description "Loopback device"
  }
}
