how to make realplayer use alsa

darkleaf · 11-15-2004, 07:52 AM

I've been using this setup for all my other sound and video programs, xmms and mplayer but in the preferences of realplayer I can't find a way to set it to this. Is it possible or do I have to run a sound server or get alsasharing to work?

It doesn't work with kde with the sound server either. :/

Hmm looks like I hit a bees nest there. I searched a bit and found out something more.

My onboard sound card + alsa is the problem. It's a VT82C686 which uses AC97. This has no mixer and I read here http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=8823 under part 4 that there's the "aoss trick". I didn't get much by googling around except that someone mentioned it related to using a wrapper.

I don't have time now to check it out and do that but has anybody got it to work this way?
