Hi, I was using Rhythmbox earlier today to play some mp3s and paused it to watch a brief video clip using the Movie Player app. The video worked fine in Movie Player, but there was no sound and the speaker icon in that app was grayed out. Stopped/exited the Rhythmbox app entirely and tried again and the Movie Player sound was back. I admit to not knowing much about audio architecture under Linux, but this just seems broken--why can't both apps just play nice and share the resource?
Particular details of my setup: I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu/Hardy 8.04 on an AMD-64 Athlon, along with Rhythmbox 0.11.5. I have a high-end DSP audio card (SCOPE professional) that I use under Windows (dual-boot setup, and the card doesn't have Linux drivers.) I haven't tried disabling/tweaking any BIOS parameters, but I'd really rather not have to go there. Thanks for any help in fixing this, Ken -- Pause doesn't release sound interface for use by other apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158870 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
