|
|
Hi,
after I installed steam with about 17 dependencies where one was something with "pulseaudio alsa" it is not possible to simultaneously play sound files. I had to close steam and then could play a flashstreamed video... is there any suggestion to solve this?
I looked through the forums but I found nothing related to my topic.
thx in advance _________________ Lieber ein Pinguin der rennt, als ein Fenster das hängt. |

Ahem. Seen the config in my sig? It's a method that works, without pulseaudio. _________________ Improve your font rendering and ALSA sound |

Pulseaudio was emerged as dependency by steam-meta package using layman -a steamlayer(guess it was called like this)
so it was not my "own"-choice to use or install pulseaudio... my suggestion is,if I delete pulseaudio, steam won't run.
correct me If I am totally wrong.. _________________ Lieber ein Pinguin der rennt, als ein Fenster das hängt. |

Steam does not need pulseaudio. |

if you're correct then why is it within the "needed" dependencies? the realpackage name was pulseaudio[alsa] 1.2.6~
btw:
I used ur sound config file u pasted to dropbox. Is it possible to use this with /etc/asound.conf as well?

Ask them, not me. Maybe they simply hadn't tested it without pulseaudio.
/etc/asound.conf should work also, I haven't bothered to test it. |

Pulseaudio in its default configuration (USE=alsa, which is a requirement for it to work at all) attempts to take over your system's sound by dropping config files into /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/ that replace your real sound card with PA ALSA emulation. To fix that, add those files to INSTALL_MASK in make.conf and re-emerge media-plugins/alsa-plugins. |
