Folks,
Not sure how many of you have tried this, but here's a series of
questions.
1. Is the Imac's sound card multi-chanel? My understanding is that it
is multi-chanel, but perhaps I'm wrong. In other words is it truly
multi-chanel or does it do some fancy mixing to achieve playing
multiple sources at once.
2. Has anyone successfully used windows or Linux under Vmware and had
multiple sounds going at once.
These questions are because I've successfully installed Ubuntu Linux
under Vmware on my Intel-based Imac.
The issues I'm having is trying to use Speakfreely. I'm not sure if
its because I pulled the binaries over from my former Debian box and
perhaps I need to recompile Speakfreely, but then my thought was that
perhaps the Mac's sound hardware doesn't handle multiple chanels.
It also could be that Vmware isn't capable of handling the Mac sound
hardware in this situation. Sounds work just fine as far as speech
and yes, Speakup works great and I even have gotten Orca working. If
anyone is curious about details I'll be glad to share what I know/
learned.
Also, does anyone know of a usb sound card that is fully supported by
Linux?
Any thoughts appreciated.
