 |
|
Hello together,
Sound in et did not work at first, I had to put
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
into my local.start. Now it works, but now I also want to play some sound (like music) in the backround, from another program (in example xmms)
than et.
If I start some sound playback befor I start et, et has no sound 
Is there a way to get it ot work?
Thanks!
Nathan
PS: et=enemy terrirory |

| That can happen using motherboard audio. It may be built in and cheap but that doesn't make it good. Another possible reason is that the linux drivers don't fully support it. I've purchased 3 SB Live pci sound cards over the years because I know they are well supported. |

Use dmix. See http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_sound_mixer_aka_dmix
You need ALSA for this, so if you use OSS, you will probably have to switch to ALSA or buy a decent card. You may also need to launch ET using aoss, for example:
in order to have sound with firefox plugins when using dmix. |
