Does that mean you have not opted to stick in any other soundcard in the box, "its good enough"..?

I suspected that, and this I find hard to...live with..maybe. (~frustration) Do I live with this.....A question: if I stick in a Creative Audigy 1 or to in the box will that issue be solved? I'm not sure if this is a "real problem"....or am I just dense enough to perhaps see it as one. > When an application tries to open a device that is already in use, it > can either report an error or wait (block) until the device becomes > available. Thanks, thats what I suspected, perhaps I'm overreacting on this, but right now I'm finding it hard too see it as "running well enough". I say that since I can boot other operating systems and its fire-and-forget in the case of audio on this chip at least. Question: Should I get an Audigy 1 or 2 card..?" (I suggest that since I have one around somewhere..that may or not be broken.. my problem of course, but it will not block multiple apps trying to get access to the sound device?) > > I grabbed newer Alsa 0.9.8 rpm from a site called Packman to see if that > > might help but I can't notice any benefit. > SuSE 9.0 already has ALSA 0.9.8 IIRC.

I definately will do that, and I'll get some local help if I run into trouble, (I'm *trying* to stick to ready rpms on this machine = a coward) but I'll do it. Thanks alot for the comments btw., I would also happy to hear if you have some input on my 'pondering' above. jk -- Suse Linux 9.0 | 2.4.21-121-smp4G | KDE 3.1.4 | XFree86 v4.3.0.1 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
