I am not sure what all info you guys need i'll try my best to provide. I am very new to linux.
I know there is an issue with sound and being able to listen to 2 programs at a time. I have tested macbook on my computer and this issue seems to be fixed. However, this is not my issue exactly.
The problem i am having is when i try to use 2 programs that require alsa only one gets the sound. for example. If i try to use wine with a program that requires sound then hit the auido button and try to listen to
. This
program will tell me:
(computer 1)
Please check that:
Your soundcard is configured properly you have the correct output plugin selected no other program is blocking the soundcard.
(Computer 2)
However. When i attempted the same thing on my other computer (computer 2 lets say) i can listen to audio, On this computer i can also listen/talk on teamspeak all at the same time no issues. Unlike computer 1
Computer 1 Spec
Both computers have same motherboard, processor, etc. differences are:
geforce 6200 gts video
1gb of ram
sound blaster audigy se soundcard pci
firewire pci card
Computer 2 spec
can't remember the video card not as nice as computer 1 but nvida
512mb ram
onboard a97 (via) sound
your next question might be does the onboard work with computer 1. Well, it used to but it got fried somehow, i think maybe one time pluging in the speakers i hit the card and the side of the case at same time... shorting the onboard sound.
So if there is any more info u guys need let me know. Also please let me know if it requires commands/files where to find these commands or files because i am new to linux.
I have also tried to put my sound blaster audigy into computer 2 and it had the same results as computer 1.
I even went and purchased a new sound card made with a via chip and and isntalled on computer 1 and same problem. (brought this card back as that wasn't the issue.)
