Hi Mike You may well need to have something like Alsa (not sure on spelling) installed.
My understanding is that natively Ubuntu is a single sound source system unless the apps in use use Alsa or a similar library to enable software mixing of soundstream unless your card supports this in hardware which I believe is quite unusual. There was a fix posted a little while ago on the Orca list to make it Alsa compliant but having not tried that myself I can't say whether it's a good un or not.

How do I get multichannel sound using the same card in Ubuntu because at some point I am hoping to go totally over to Linux when screenreader access is better. I am wondering if multichannel sound is only supported in Windows with my soundcard. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
