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? You can try to place this .asoundrc in your $HOME:
