teamspeak, sound problem
 

Hello all.

I am trying to get a ts-client on linux to work...

Problem:
from what i have read is that the ts-client is trying to access /dev/dsp which is occupied by gnome's esd. I have tried it to start with: esddsp ./teamspeak but haven't gotten any luck :(. artsdsp seems to work for sound output (I hear: "link engaged") and not for input, nor the voices of my teammates.

My possible solution from what i have read in the fora:
In ALSA you can make two sound devices for one device (correct me if I am wrong!). I can make one regular /dev/dsp and /dev/dspts for teamspeak. So:

1. Is this possible, if not what is another solution?
2. how do I install and configure alsa in fedora? (I dislike rpm-deps...)
3. how do I make the two devices?

thx for your help.

If you hear link engaged, maybe its just that your muted in your team's channel. Are you already registered in the channel? I had that prob when joining, I had to have the channel admin unmute me. An idea to start with at least.

since the admin is a friend of mine and i never had problems in win... i guess it is linux. but you got it working? how?
