[alsa-devel] dmix on hda-intel
Dear all,
(please cc)
_From the wiki page: NOTE: For ALSA 1.0.9rc2 and higher you don't need to setup dmix. Dmix is enabled as default for soundcards which don't support hw mixing. My ALSA Version: 1.0.21 (see attached alsa-info output)
Why is soft mixing still not working? Opening several audio clients does not work at all.
Any suggestion, patches (-rc kernels, git diffs to apply?)
Thanks

Your controller and codec certainly have dmix, dsnoop, and softvol enabled by default. However, nothing prevents a rogue application from grabbing plughw or hw or using OSS emulation (you have the kernel modules loaded). In other words, inspect the ALSA configurations of the audio applications that you use. If any of them are not using "default" as the device, there's a good chance you've located a culprit.
