Frederick Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) HI all, Yesterday i was trying to watch a DVD wih kaffeine under XFCE 4.2 with ALSA (or OSS?) activated and after kaffeine produced the first sounds (from the first chapter of the DVD), it exited coming to the root menu saying that another application was using the sound system. I had the same problem with totem but then i was able to continue. The DVD I was watching was "The Fellowship of the ring", the special edition. I should also probably add that the DVD is zone 2 and that my laptop has a zone 1 drive. But i tried it under windows with VideoLAN and everything worked perfectly. When i tried it with artsd running, i did not have this problem. Also,using ogle from the command line (I have problem with the gui) i do not have this problem either. Any thoughts?

devries Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Your soundcard doesn't do hardware mixing and to hear sounds from multiple applications at the same time you need a software mixer like arts. Search the board for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I changed the settings in the "xine engines parameters ..." audio tab and everything seem to be fine now for kaffeine, I have given up on totem since kaffeine is much more versatile.
