My guess is that you're running a sound server of some sort. This does software mixing if your card can't do it in hardware. (Basically this will let you play two sounds at the same time). Take a look here and try the configurations given for the .openalrc file. (You can skip the parts about running configure --help) Start with the one for esd and if that doesn't work, try the one for alsa. http://wiki.flightgear.org/flightgear_wiki/index.php?title=Linux_software_audio_mixing_with_FlightGear#FlightGear It's so sad that you still need to care at all about this :( -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
