You could also pick up a cheap Sound Blaster Live! card and throw that |
28 |
it in. Should work right off just fine with multiple apps. It is an old |
29 |
card, but it has hardware mixing and does the job rather well. Otherwise |
30 |
you could use a software sound server. I would recommend esound. It's |
31 |
better than arts and jack. |
32 |
|
33 |
But if you don't want to get a card that has hardware mixing, I would |
34 |
suggest what the other guy said and that is to setup dmix. It will |
35 |
result in a better quality sound than using a software server. Less |
36 |
overhead as well. |
