RE: [Alsa-user] Two sound sources and one sound card
Thanks Lee My alsa-lib and alsa-driver are both 1.10. How do I configure arts to use alsa? I haven't done anything with arts - I'm not starting it myself or anything, but artsd is running when I use sound devices. I have configured kaffeine to use alsa rather than the default of auto. If I run skype through artsdsp -m then when it needs sound it doesn't complain I just don't hear anything. When I run skype on its own, it gives a message about a problem with the sound device. If I use the two packages (kaffeine and skype) serially and wait a few seconds between the two then both produce sound. Should I be doing something active with arts rather than just letting FC4 do whatever it's doing in the background when I try to use sound?

[Alsa-user] Two sound sources and one sound card
Title: Message Whilst I'm reasonably comfortable with Linux, sound continues to mystify me. I have managed to get all the applications that I want to use working with Sound on my FC4 AMD64 machine, the main ones being: xine rosegarden kaffeine (for its DVB capabilities) Skype That's all fine except when I try and do more than one thing at once. My specific issue is having Skype running all the time, so that it can pop up if someone calls or when I want to use it, and from time to time I use kaffeine. If I start kaffeine but don't play anything with it, it doesn't use the sound device and all is well. But the moment I play a file, or watch DVB, the sound device is used, and then Skype can't get it when it wants to use it. I run skype as: asrtsdsp -m skpe (following many web trawls as this was the only way I could find to get it to work with sound). I haven't done any special sound config for kaffeine, it just works. So I need some way of allowing multiple applications to use sound at the same time, rather than one blocking the other out. (After I've used kaffeine, it isn't sufficient to just stop playing something with sound, I have to kill the application before skype is able to get the sound device). Can anyone give me some guidance? Thanks Tim *** The Royal Bank of Scotland plc. Registered in Scotland No 90312. Registered Office: 36 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh EH2 2YB.
