I've searched the net and came up with the configuration below. but I don't think my cmus install is using alsa.

How do I know? Well, I installed strawberry and have configured it to use alsa. If I play youtube on the browser and then try playing on strawberry , I'll get a message that goes like "playback device is busy right now". I have to stop the Youtube playback first before strawberry starts playing music.

If I do same with cmus, I can hear sound from both cmus and Youtube.

Any ideas? Thanks

this is my configuration

[my-user@fedora ~]$ cat /etc/asound.conf 
#
# Place your global alsa-lib configuration here...

defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.ctl.card 1

[my-user@fedora ~]$ aplay -l

    Because there is no mixer setting as part of your global alsa conf but there is one as part of your cmus settings ? BTW are you using Alsa directly ? ( I mean no pulse/pipewire & al ) In case you are using Alsa directly… I can post some answer. – MC68020 Feb 12 '23 at 10:14
  • @MC68020 pipewire and alsa were installed by default on fedora 37. I'm guessing YouTube/browser/cmus is playing sound via pipewire by default. – mrjayviper Feb 12 '23 at 11:49
