Ok, so what sound card are you using? Also explain a little about you speaker setup - such as you have external speakers and headphones at the same time? Or, is it that you're switching between the two (also a bit of a mystery why you have 3 dsp devices with skype)? Could be something to do with the sound cards output ports on the device or the software config that is routing the signals.
I mentioned the setup in my previous email.. but probably not clearly.... :-) The main sound card is a Sound Blaster Live! 24 connected to external speakers (uses ca0106 driver). The only other sound device I have is my Logitech USB headset. Both devices are connected at the same time (I am not switching between the two - both remain connected at all times). The sound card is on /dev/dsp, and the headset on /dev/dsp2. There is no device on /dev/dsp1 - it's not even there in the /dev directory. The "third" device is the MIDI part of the SoundBlaster, and shows up as MPU-401... the same as it's always done in Linux. As a comparison, if I boot to Kubuntu (6.10), and check the same hardware, the /dev devices are exactly the same (ie the SB is on /dev/dsp, the headset on /dev/dsp2, and no /dev/dsp1 device). OSS works fine through the SoundBlaster in all applications I set to use it.... meaning that Cedega works with sound, as well as something like Skype (if I set it to use OSS). Permissions on the /dev devices are the same... except in SUSE /dev/dsp2 has a + at the end of the permissions. On SUSE, I am using the same hardware, drivers, and software (other than that one is installed from RPM and the other from DEB). I am using the exact same software/application specific configuration as well. Also, on SUSE, if I play a movie with MPlayer, I have to use ALSA as my sound (the only output that currently produces any sound at all via the SB). The whole time there is an error flashing (too fast to read) on the desktop that says (when you stop/pause the movie) "Unable to find simple control 'PCM' 0". I cannot play the movie with this error strobing (this also happens on Kubuntu). My solution in the past was to simply switch over to OSS (in MPlayer options). If I do that now, the OSS sound starts playing on /dev/dsp2 (my headset). There is no sound at all if I direct the output to the SoundBlaster (on /dev/dsp). In Kubuntu it works fine via the SoundBlaster if I set MPlayer to use OSS and direct the sound to /dev/dsp. It's got to be something in SUSE (configuration? kernel compilation?) that's the problem. But what it is, is a mystery. It's keeping me from using 10.2 as my main desktop though :-( Could this be linked to the problem I have with SUSE 10.2 where all users have no sound at all until I manually add them to the Audio group? https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227420 C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
