Issues with Ensoniq and Slackware 10

The_Avatar · 08-05-2004, 06:17 AM

Hey there,

I have an Ensoniq Sound Card, but I can't hear simultaneous sounds in slackware, I just listen to one at a time. I tried to configure esound, it works ok but when I try to play any mp3 on xmms it freezes. But if I play mp3's on mpg321 for example and receive a msg on licq I hear the 2 sounds simultanously. Is it a problem with my sound card or xmms is bugged??

Anyone has an idea to solve this issue?? Thanks.

Try right-click on xmms and choose options > preferences then change the output plugin to alsa

I've already done that and had no positive result. And if I chose the esound output xmms freezes. :/
