Multisound Debian

Επειδή ο ήχος στο Debian θα σας προβληματίσει με το γεγονός οτι μόνο ένα πρόγραμμα μπορεί να παίζει ήχο, εδώ το fix!

1. We need to install libesd-alsa0 so
   
   Code:

   sudo apt-get install libesd-alsa0

2. We need to create /etc/asound.conf, so
   
   Code:

   sudo gedit /etc/asound.conf

   Insert into it:
   
   Code:

   pcm.card0 {
   type hw
   card 0
   }
   
   pcm.!default {
   type plug
   slave.pcm "dmixer"
   
   }
   
   
   pcm.dmixer {
   type dmix
   ipc_key 1025
   slave {
   pcm "hw:0,0"
   period_time 0
   period_size 2048 #1024
   buffer_size 32768 #4096
      #periods 128
   rate 48000  #44100
   }
   bindings {
   0 0
   1 1
   }
   }

3. We need to change /etc/esound/esd.conf contents so:
   
   Code:

   sudo mv /etc/esound/esd.conf /etc/esound/esd.conf_backup
   sudo gedit /etc/esound/esd.conf

   Insert into it:
   
   Code:

   [esd]
   auto_spawn=1
   spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -d default
   spawn_wait_ms=100
   # default options are used in spawned and non-spawned mode
   default_options=

4. Now You need to change ubuntu sound server to alsa (you can leave it ESD but better use alsa because it has better sound handling):
   
   Code:

   gstreamer-properties

   Change both (in the Audio Tab not the Video) from ESD to ALSA so it looks just like the picture:
   

All that's left now is to restart your computer (after restart you must hear sound) to enable these changes. Also configure XMMS or Beep-media-player (or any player) to use ALSA instead of eSound/ESD. If you hear a strange sound, just change everything back to ESD. If everything worked correctly, now Audacity & Skype will work normally and all the program will play sound using either Alsa or ESD.

Correct beep-media-player configuration:

* If you couldn't play any sounds using ALSA then your /etc/asound.cond & /etc/esound/esd.conf needs some more advanced tweaking (or your sound card just won't support it).

* The codes above are to be done inside a terminal window.
