hello, i have debian 3.0 installed on my AMD 2600+ system. i'm using the alsa sound server, and have the nvidia-nforce2 soundcard. i'm getting the following problem with my sound server. when i try to run any music using either xmms or amarok, the system kinda hangs for a few seconds. i say "kinda" because the sound keeps on playing, but nothing else works for quite some time. i cant cycle between windows, can't open new applications. the only thing i can do is to use the amarok global shortcut to stop the current song, which stops after about a min or so, and then the system starts functioning properly. logging off or even restarting the m/c doesn't help. googling suggested that only one application can use the sound system at a time, so i should disable the sound server usage in KDE (for notifications, kalarm, etc), but that didn't help. and neither did the other suggestion, which was to use alsaconf to reconfigure the sound server.
thanks for the help in advance :) -- warm regards, Pradnyesh Sawant -- A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle --Anon -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
