Re: sound problems with 2.6
thanx a ton Colin. i surely appreciate it. now as I had mentioned, I
have two sound cards... using alsaconf, i can play ONLY one.
1. if set up snd-intel8x0 : i am able to play into the on-board intel
card but into the pci card.
2. if i set up snd-ens1371 : i am able to play into the pci card but
not into the on-board intel card.
how do i do both ?? secondly, what are the sound device ? i mean
/dev/dsp is the one used in both cases.. not, if both the cards work,
then i suppose the two devices would be /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0 and
/dev/dsp1 ??
hey man thanx.
