I am currently working on a university project with the raspberry pi. I have build an external microphone which I have to connect to the pi via soundcard. This works fine, it records fine all going well. But when I try to play sound over the build in headphone jack of the pi, it refuses to do it as long as the soundcard is attached. I can take it out, music plays, as soon as I plug it in everything is silent. I have tried to find a solution myself. I have tried 3 pis and 2 SD cards and always the same issue. Ergo I think I am missing something. I have found block posts saying: This might help but still the same issue:
pcm.default {
type asym
playback.pcm "plughw:2" # Playback device: built-in auxiliary port (card 2)
capture.pcm "plughw:3" # Capture device: USB sound card (card 3)
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 2 # Control device: built-in auxiliary port (card 2)
}
these are my aplay devices but I mean no surprise there either:
test@jo:~ $ aplay -l

Could someone rescue me from this nightmare of config struggles?
