Hi Bojan! That's because this audio chip cannot handle multiple opens. So only one alsa application can connect to the card at one time, and that's the arts daemon from your first session. There should be a possibility to configure alsa to use the so called dmix plugin, so alsa handles the multiple opens in software and mixes the streams. I was able to get this to work on an older SuSE with updated alsa, but with the alsa from SuSE 9.1 I wasn't able to get this working. Can anybody help here? One starting point: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin Greets, Daniel Zitat von Bojan Hribernik <bojan.hribernik@siol.net>:
SuSE Linux 9.1 personal, kernel 2.6.xx, KDE 3.2.1... I have Intel 82801DB-ICH4 sound card. It works, I can hear the sound. I have 3 users: root, first_user, second_user. Now here's the problem.
CASE 1: for example, if I start first session as first_user I can hear the sound, there's KAMix in systray and everything is fine. Then if I start new (second) session as second_user the sound is gone. If I try to open KAMix it gives me error: "direct access to sound device not possible" no soundcard available or sound not configured yet. In control center - sound system, the sound is enabled ... but... then if I start another (third) session as root everything is ok. KAMix loads, sound works, I can change configuration, mute sound....
CASE 2: if i start first session as root everything is ok. then if i start second session eather as first or second user... sound does not work.
both users are members of audio group. what's the catch??? what am I missing here???
thanx for your answers
