hi, my HDMI audio device works fine with one application (Flash, aplay, pidgin), but not if some sources play at the same time (i.e. I watch a video and want to get pidgin notification sounds while at it).
I used the 'hdmi' device: $ aplay -L default Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server hdmi:CARD=MID,DEV=0 HDA Intel MID, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output sysdefault:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output and then, if another source like flash is playing: $ LANG=C aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/send.wav -D hdmi aplay: main:722: audio open error: Device or resource busy I tried the solution mentioned here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Software_mixing_.28dmix.29 but this did not change anything :-/ Do I have to try the hacks described here, or is there possibly an easier solution (like not breaking pulseaudio apps)? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Troubleshooting Thank you very much, -- Felix Natter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
