audio mixing problem
hi
i have been having the following problem with both debian and ubuntu. for some reason, as far as i am aware, only one program can play audio at any one time. for example if i am on a website which is playing sound, and then i open up zinf to play some other music, it wont work. and so on... i found this link: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30076&highlight=nforce however it has not helped :( my mobo is a nvidia a7n8x deluxe with onboard sounds, nforce2 chipset cheers |
this is my ~/.asoundrc file:
Code:
pcm.nforce-hw { |
add this to what you have and see if it works better
Code:
if all else fails possibly try nvidia driver and mixer |
thanks for your reply
i have tried what u've suggested but haven't had much luck (been testing it with zinf playing an mp3 file, and firefox playing audio on a webpage which is a flash plugin) i downloaded the nforce unified drivers from the nvidia site, however i cant seem to install them - i get the following error messages.... No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; this means that the installer will need to compile a new kernel interface ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option. sorry i'm a bit of a linux newbie, not sure what extactly i need to do to get this installed. (btw, i am currently just using the ubuntu live cd until i get this sorted) |

that seems rather self explanatory -- you can't build a kernel module without the kernel build directory
need to install kernel source package let see -- if ubuntu is debian try something like apt-cache search kernel until you find it |
ok, i have managed to get the driver compiled, but i am unsure about installing the module and getting it running. i have found the release notes here:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/n...easeNotes.html but they don't really describe what to do for ubuntu, which i am using. |
