no speech when setting default card in asound.conf

[Rob Hudson]

I have two PCI cards. I want to change the default card, to card 1.

To address this, I made an asound.conf file in /etc:: 

pcm.!default { 

type hw 

card 1 

device 0 

} 

ctl.!default { 

type hw 

card 1 

device 0 

} 

It worked! Sound came through card 1, but no speech. Not even an error message. Speech didn't go through card 0 either. I'm using the voxin speakup connector, if it helps to diagnose the problem.

What can I do to fix this?
