Simply open /etc/asound.conf in your favorite text editor and comment line 9. This is the line that loads pluseaudio, so if you place a hash symbol, aka pound sign, aka octothorp, there--namely the '#' symobl--you'll prevent pulseaudio Simply open /etc/asound.conf in your favorite text editor and comment line 9. This is the line that loads pluseaudio, so if you place a hash symbol, aka pound sign, aka octothorp, there--namely the '#' symbol--you'll prevent pulseaudio from loading. Make this edit, save and exit, and your changes will shortly take effect.
