I have sound hardware on the main board, but also a sound card in the system (for some reason). Is KDE supposed to be able to handle that? It seems I can control the sliders of both mixers with kmix, but KDE is only ever using the first (mobo) mixer. That is, no audio out of the sound card. Likewise for /dev/{audio,dsp}. How can I chose which output to use for which audio source, or even, which to use for everything? SUSE 10.0 Thanks, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

Try disabling the onboard sound in BIOS. That way, linux won't see it and will use only the adapter card, which is likely the more powerful sound processor anyway. Kevin

Thanks, obviously removing one of the cards should have the effect of the other one being always used. But that wasn't the question... Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

Use sound configuration in YaST's hardware menu. Delete the mother-board entry and set up the sound card entry. I'm not sure of you can actually use two sound devices, so it might be possible to set up the sound card and give it preferred use.

Yes, sure, I can do that. Again,

yes that's the question which I asked. Is it possible? If so, how? Thanks, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

I dont know if KDE is multiple soundcard aware.. But i THINK you can set a few other programs to choose a second /dev/dsp So that for instance KDE uses dsp1 to make noises as you move/resize etc. And kaffeine use dsp2 to let you have moviesound As said, i THINK you can do that. It probably has something to do with the soundsystem too.
