Naim89 Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hi there, My linux box seems to have great difficulty in "multitasking" programs that use the sound card. The sound card can only play ONE program at a time. So, i'm sequencing in Rosegarden, and playing back my composition. I've finished from Rosegarden and I exit the program and JACK. Then I realised that GAIM was running, and then all of a sudden, I receive a stream of sounds of sent messages, received messages, people logging on/off, which were supposed to play at the time that they happened, but didn't because of Rosegarden - it's as if they enter some sort of queue and when I quit rosegarden, the doors just open and they all come flooding in!!! Any suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 that would be thanks to the arts sound daemon...it's probably selected in gaims preferences as the output method. see if you can select jack or something else in gaims preferences. you could also try disabling arts all together, but i'm not sure where that is done or how to do it.
