&gt; I am now using Alsa but can&#39;t seem to get multi channel sounds,<br>
&gt; I.E speech and/or system sounds, I only have speech.<br>
<br>
</div>You need to buy a proper sound card with hardware mixing (e.g.<br>
SB Audigy) or configure Alsa to do software mixing. Why modern<br>
distributions don&#39;t configure this properly on their own puzzles<br>
me, but they probably just throw in the horrible PulseAudio<br>
without thinking a lot about it.<br>
<br>
Oh wait, I just saw an nice bit of news: ALSA 1.0.9rc2 or later<br>
supports software mixing by default, but you probably don&#39;t have<br>
that version yet.<br>
<br>
The bottom line is that you need to write the proper incantation<br>
into some text file. I don&#39;t need that so I&#39;ll leave that to<br>
the others to explain who have such a setup...<br>
<br>
  Cheers,<br>
