ICE1712 has no hardware mixing, so this is the expected behavior with that ALSA version. Upgrade to a recent ALSA and software mixing (dmix) will be automatically enabled for this card, but you'll have better results just using JACK. Lee - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Alsa-user] Duplexing (?) Audiophile 2496
I recently installed a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 in machine running Mandriva 2006. All, including MIDI, runs just fine. But, it appears that I can only listen to a single stream at one time. I _think_ that it has something to do with the setup of either the /etc/asound.state or the .asoundrc files. I have copied/pasted some .asoundrc examples from this mailing list, but find no difference at all. My alsa version is 1.0.9b. The modules loaded are: bob$ /sbin/lsmod | grep snd snd_seq_midi6752 0 snd_seq_dummy 2532 0 snd_seq_oss31136 0 snd_seq_midi_event 5696 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss snd_seq46960 6 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_pcm_oss48960 1 snd_mixer_oss 16896 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_ice171259684 2 snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx 3136 1 snd_ice1712 snd_ak4xxx_adda 5664 2 snd_ice1712,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx snd_cs8427 8160 1 snd_ice1712 snd_ac97_codec 83900 1 snd_ice1712 snd_pcm79784 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_ice1712,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 20548 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 8392 1 snd_pcm snd_i2c 4800 2 snd_ice1712,snd_cs8427 snd_mpu401_uart 5664 1 snd_ice1712 snd_rawmidi19616 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 6828 5 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd46116 15 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_ice1712,snd_ak4xxx_adda,snd_cs8427,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_i2c,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 7008 3 snd Maybe I don't understand this ... corrections welcome ... but should programs not open there own, new, channels to the sound card using the card's multiple PCM channels as needed? I have run envy24control, but mutting/unmutting the different PCM 1-8 has no effect, other than turning on/off the digital mixer display ... but the output doesn't seem to be effected. Oh, just checked and neither esd or arts is running. Either something is wrong here or I am totally misunderstanding all this :) Thanks! -- ___ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
