 Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2004 4:10 pm Post subject: How can I tell America's Army to use my second soundcard? |
 |
|
Ive got my Nforce audio on /dev/dsp
and my SBlive on /dev/dsp1
I checked the ini files for ArmyOps, but I cant figure out how to tell ArmyOps to use my Sblive instead of my Nforce audio.
Any suggestions? |

One way I did something similar was to switch the 2 around.
/dev/dsp will be the first sound card detected, and /dev/dsp1 the second.
All you need to do is build the alsa-drivers as modules and have snd-emu10k1 in your /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 before snd-intel8x0.
Also make sure it is in that order in your /etc/modules.d/alsa. |

| By the way, I should have mentioned this earlier, I'm just looking for a temporary solution. Im sure there's gotta be some kind of command that can be passed to the binary file to make it use the second sound card in a system. |

No, not unless the app supports a cmd/cfg setting for it.
What I used to do in the past (old OSS apps) is make /dev/dsp a symlink.
Then by writing a script you could just have it redirect to the correct card.
mv /dev/dsp /dev/dsp0
ln -snf /dev/dsp1 /dev/dsp
then to switch back
ln -snf /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp
Keep in mind that you will also need to change /dev/mixer as well.  |
