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.
