Splitting sound


Hi,

I have gotten my mic to work and such, all it needed was an update!
Anyway, I'd like to know how I can split my sound. Because when I listen to music with Amarok, my game sound won't work.(using cedega and playing warcraft3 expansion)

Or when i play warcraft and try TeamSpeak.. It won't work.

I tried doing the

echo "wine 0 0 direct" > / etc
echo "wine 0 0 disable" > / etc

but it doesn't work.

Here's my hwinfo --sound output. if you need more i'll give!

diempinguin:/home/tux # hwinfo --sound

These commands don't make sense. What are you trying to do?
You seem to be trying to redirect the output of echo to a file named "/".
Even if you added a space after / and meant to write
echo "wine 0 0 direct" > /etc
That still won't work because /etc/ is a directory and you didn't indicate a filename. Thirdly, remember that ">" will overwrite the file and not just add a line to it.

Maybe you meant to do something like:
sudo echo "wine 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
sudo echo "wine 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss

You have to create or edit $HOME/.asoundrc to use the dmix library. On-board and some PCI sound cards do not come with hardware mixing. Software mixing have to be used instead. By specifying some lines in $HOME/.asoundrc to include the dmix library, it will give you software mixing. There is one catch. The program have to support ALSA. You could use the utility aoss [program] if the program does not support ALSA. Though if you think creating and editing $HOME/.asoundrc is too much, use esound, but not a lot of programs have esound support.
