<DIV>Hi list. I am still having problems getting my sound to work properly (or
as I would like it). Currently I can play speech or something else but I
can't have speech and any other kind of sound together. I have upgraded my
distro to 9.04 and switched from the EEE kernel to a generic Kernel. I am now
also running version 1.0.21 of the Alsa driver, library and Utils. Would this
now have Dmix by default and if so I'm guessing I need to do some configuration
in order to get multi channel sound.</DIV>
<DIV>I don't really know much about sound or working with Alsa so if
any-one knows some links to some fairly simple documentation that can give
me the building blocks I may need to try and fix this problem that would be
great.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
<DIV>Jen!</DIV>

this some code I should put somewhere?</DIV>
