Permission to use alsa dmix
Hi,
Alsa is not playing by the rules :( i am trying to get my nforce 3 (on my laptop) to run full duplex: here is my asound.conf file: Code:
pcm.intel8x0 { Code:
ian@linux:/etc> ls -la /dev/dsp Code:
ian@linux:/etc> ls -la /dev/snd when i am using amaroK and then run asound in the console i get this: Code:
ian@linux:/etc> aplay |
bump... please help
|
Code:
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 14, 3 2005-12-20 13:47 /dev/dsp |
how do you add a user to the audio group? i know :newbie: question, but i have never needed to do that!
|
ok forget that, here is what i have done:
Code:
linux:/home/ian # usermod ian -G audio |
Code:
usermod -G audio ian |
still is not working :cry:
i have tried logging in as root and it works there so why not in my user? :Pengy: :Pengy: :Pengy: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :Pengy: :Pengy: :Pengy: edit ian_hawdon: fixed spelling |
ok, i have found out this is only happening in skype hmm :scratch:

DMIXing only works in Alsa applications. If you run just ONE Oss app, it will block off the soundcard for every other app including Alsa apps.
Basically, you can run as many Alsa apps at one time as you want. But you can only run one and only one OSS app.(and if you run an oss app you can't run any alsa apps until you close the oss app) |
is there anyway of making an oss aplication think it is an alsa aplication?
|
Yes there is.
For some apps, you can run "aoss appname" if you have the alsa-oss program installed. It doesn't work with every program though. |
