FX Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I have TeamSpeak installed and ET: TrueCombat:Elite mod. If I try to run the two or better if I start TeamSpeak, Elite won't start. I think its a sound driver issue with both programs wanting to use sound. I've done some searching on Google for an answer and from what I see I pretty much have to jump through hoops of fire to get them working together. I just want to know why? I wouldn't have this problem in M$ and I really would rather not use M$, but until Linux can get this straight without being a guru I have no choice!! This is both a "help me" and complain/whine thread. Any help would be nice. FX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 You don't need to be a guru to solve this :). Your soundcard doesn't do hardware mixing so only one application at a time can use it. You need a software mixer like arts (if you use kde). Start teamspeak and the game from a consoloe with 'artsdsp teamspeak' and 'artsdsp name of game'. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Ick, arts is messy. http://opensrc.org/alsa/index.php?page=DmixPlugin What's your sound card? there might be a dmix config on this page somewhere. http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=UserComments The config goes in /etc/asound.conf Try this one: pcm.card0 { type hw card 0 } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "dmixer" } pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 1025 slave { pcm "hw:0,0" period_time 0 period_size 4096 buffer_size 16384 periods 128 rate 44100 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } To make ET use this properly: run this command to start it: export AUDIODEV=default Dont put this in your bashrc or anywhere global, just run it before you run ET - maybe teamspeak too, and things should be cool. Apparently it causes problems with Mozilla and other programs. Edit: This looks usefull too, play with it, play with the above and you will hopefully get a result :) http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_sound_mi...up_dmix_for_OSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
