Well if you only have your motherboard and are using that for your sound configuration, then however you have your ALSA set up, it will only let one program use the sound driver. I have that problem with my World of Warcraft and Teamspeak. Although If you are nifty enough to have an actual sound card with your motherboard, you may find this helpful.

Hello, I have a problem with mplayer-bin and alsa when amarok is playing. When I play a movie mplayer shows the following error message: alsa-init: using device default alsa-lib: pcm_direct.c:222:(make_local_socket) connect failed: èÔZ¡: No such file or directory alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:851:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to connect client alsa-init: playback open error: No such file or directory Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. When I stop amarok it does work fine. Any suggestions why? Regards Jan -- Get my public key from: www.codejunky.org/codejunky.asc
