eeey guys

I just installed FC2 and it works fine only mine sound cards does strange.
I installed the ALSA drivers correctly (i think) and when i look at mine configuratie in is correct.
I have a sound blaster 16 on ISA slot.
When I''m logged in in gaim and using msn he plays the sounds.
But cd's etc that is not working.
Any1 knows how i can get this to work...?

Unmuted ?
And you know that as default it is not possible to play two streams at same time. So start only the music and see whether it works.

found the problem (i think )
The drivers are not fully installed.
I have 3 packets :
* Alsa-driver-1.0.2
* Alsa-lib-1.0.2
* Alsa-utils-1.0.2
I intalled it with that installation doc all unpacked and make,installed it.
Any idea's what i dit wrong and more important how i resolve this :)

thanks

I believe he's having the same problem as me, where your computer isn't playing more that one sound at once.
What you need is a Sound Server. Sound servers are programs that manage sound input from multiple programs, and mixes the sounds together to output as one to your soundcard.

i've looked at it, and am going to try the dmix plugin that's with ALSA.
good luck!
