Also, I can't get any sound out of headphone output. To me this is a sign that perhaps the ALSA config scheme is a bit too complex, although more probably, it's just me being too stupid to use it. In perfect world, both headphone out and dmix should "just work". They do "just work" with the OSS binary blob (as does mixing with applications that use OSS API.) With Intel i815 integrated sound, ALSA dmix does work. -- v -- v@iki.fi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
