no sound in games
I have a soundblaster live 5.1 sound card. I installed Suse 8.2 and having all kinds of sound problems. When I try to run a game, I get an error message like " cannot initialize sound or can't find sound server". I believe that another program is using my sound card. How can I find out what program and how to stop it. I can play audio cds with no problems. All of the sound effects in KDE sound terrible.
Thanks, Darwin |
im not a linuxguru, but for me it helped to switch off the aRts soundsystem.....
(Settings/KDE/soundsystem) you also have to stop all programs using you soundcard before playin (Terratec DMXfire 1024) |
I could try that. What way would be the best way to do
that. I can go into KDE control center and uncheck the box to start the arts sound server on startup. Is there a command also? If I check the system monitor would it display as "arts" and I could turn it off that way? Thanks, Darwin |
in console you can type
artsshell and then terminate ....i think that should work, maybe, didnt try out |
I'm a linux noob.
How do you do this disabling in GNOME? |
