Hi all,
I'm trying to get sound to work on my system. When I turn on Linux I get the start up music, but when I try to watch a movie with VLC I get this:
#################### Audio output failed: The audio device "default" is already in use. Audio output failed: VLC could not open the ALSA device "default" (Device or resource busy).
######################
Any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks,
JIM
It means something is already using that device. I have that problem as well, but only between Firefox and Amarok. If I play a mp3 in Amarok and try to watch a video in Firefox, the sound will not work in Firefox until I close Amarok. also if I watch the video first and then try to play a mp3 in Amarok, I have to close Firefox, not just the tab or web site, but the entire app, to get sound again in Amarok. -- Michael S.
