Hello,

My problem is that sound is only working in one application at the time. For example i have banshee and a youtube page running at the same time. Well let's say i've opened banshee first. Then i'll still have the music of banshee playing when i run a youtube video, but there will be no sound coming from youtube. Then if i quit banshee and reload the youtube page, there's sound again on the video.

So i wanted to ask if it was a kernel problem from linux, or if was just me who missed installing something (like some alsa or gstreamer things).

Thanks and please ask if you need more info.

PS: I'm running gnome on Archlinux

Hi,

yes, this is quite a commom problem, and there are two solutions : one is called pulseaudio (archwiki).
The second is dmix (archwiki), which I prefer, but is a little more complex to setup. Also dmix should be enabled by default on 2.0 stereo outputs.

Just out of curiosity : does using two applications which are not flash (or skype or anything proprietary) at the same time work?

Ok thanks i'll try these out. And yes mplayer and banshee work together.
