Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 5:55 pm Post subject: Using Skype and Enemy Territory at the same time |
|
|
Hello!
I would like to use Skype while playing Enemy Territory with my buddies. Skype is working well separately and ET is working well separately but while using them together I just have Skype sound and no ET sound. One of my friends uses Ubuntu which handles both pretty well. So I would like to know what I gotta do in Gentoo to get it run. I use ALSA sound system.
Thanks! _________________ ASUS 4A785TD-V EVO with AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965

Need to make sure both are using alsa or some other mixable solution. Chances are one is going through pulse or OSS,and other is through alsa.
There was a recent patch that updated all ALSA programs to go through pulseaudio (GNOME), perhaps a world update could help the problem. If one is going through OSS, will need a fix for that application.... not sure if there's a solution for that yet... _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD

As far as I know ET is using OSS. Can I change it using ALSA instead? _________________ ASUS 4A785TD-V EVO with AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965

The other possibility is that your buddy has a higher end sound card that supports hardware mixing and yours does not. Having a hardware mixer will allow you to mix oss and alsa sounds by using two inputs into the sound card DSP. I know my low end onboard sound does not have hardware mixing capability and depends on software mixing...
You'll have to look if ET supports using ALSA, if this is true you should go ahead and use ALSA, using dmix will work. Or if everything uses pulseaudio, that would work too. |

I found a web site to change ET to alsa. Will give it a try.
