Slight change of topic .... Or is it back to the original topic? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
FYI : |
| 38 |
Using Palemoon compiled from the overlay, |
| 39 |
a XonarDX sound card ( 192Khz Record/Playback, 7.1 sound capable, 8 |
| 40 |
channels ), |
| 41 |
ALSA without either PulseAudio or apulse, |
| 42 |
JACK not being used, |
| 43 |
No .asoundrc being used, |
| 44 |
I am able to watch videos and HEAR them in Palemoon. |
| 45 |
Audio with Adobe Flash works as well. |
| 46 |
( the caveat : mplayer is compiled / mplayer.conf adjusted / nsplugin |
| 47 |
installed ) |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
The trick .... seems to be reading the docs for ALSA in the bundled |
| 51 |
kernel source code docs. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
1 : Make corrections to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf" |
| 54 |
2 : list ALL modules for ALSA/OSS in "/etc/conf.d/modules" for loading. |
| 55 |
3 : If using "media-sound/timidity++" do the same for its modules. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I hope this information helps for those who want alternatives. |
