Hello folks.
since I've been "training" for improving my starcraft skills while watching videos; I've notice that my soundcard is bussy and only allow me to listen thru the first application I have open; either mplayer or Virtualbox or Amarok...
Dunno if this is just at is is supposed to be; or if there's something i can configure to have more than one application thru the soundcard and stuff.
By the way; this pc is a new build (my old hardware died on me)
This is what I have on bash when I use mplayer and try to play something
Code:
bash-3.1$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/k3b_success1.wav
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
aplay: main:590: audio open error: Device or resource busy
I think the following may be usefull...
Code:
bash-3.1# lsmod
