* status: closed => reopened * resolution: wontfix => Comment: Thakn you for your prompt response. Now I thihk I had H/W mixing with Linux kernels 2.4 and corresponding alsa, but those are days gone by, never to return. I do not mind the sound from the first X session being muted/suspended when the other is active on the console. I'd rather like it that way. There is a bigger problem in that I use "fast user switch" to switch back to the fist X session, and the sound does not seem to follow the active X session. Use case: I log in using KDM to lauch KDE. I lock the screen with KScreensaver My wife starts a new X session; KDM happily serves her a KDE display. She locks the screen, also using KScreensaver. I then reactivate my KDE session, and find that my sound system is not working. There is then no sound until my wife logs out. This is not very satisfying. I suppose this might be fixed with the proper setup, but I do not know how to do this. As I said, there is little use for simultaneous I/O from the different X sessions of the two (or more) users. My concern is to get sound working for the X session currently active on the console display. I hope you can help me with this. I suppose pasuspender couldbi a way to go, but how do I set my sytem up for this to work seamlessly? I have not configured Konsole Kit or Udev in any particular way, but I believe I am up to the task if I get some instructions on the needed modifications neccessary. Thank you in avance. ;)Frode Frode Severin Hatlevik PS: If you can gife me som starting points for looking into the setup of ALSA to cater for H/W mixing I will be happy to persue this as a solution. I guess setting up Jackd as a system backend for pulse could be an option too?
