OSS doesn't play more than 1 sound at the same time [SOLVED]

Hello,
I use OSS to replace ALSA, it used to work properly here. Today I noticed that I can't play more than one sound at the same time, something which I used to be able to do.
Also, ossxmix doesn't operate properly (I can't control the volume of a specific program).
Looks like a permissions issue, because /dev/dsp and /dev/oss are created as root and other users get Permission Denied.
Any ideas how to fix it? My sound card is an AC'97 onboard.
Thanks!
EDIT: Solved by pacman -R oss, rm -rf /usr/lib/oss then pacman -S oss. Seems to have worked.

Hello Angela,
Have you tried resetting the iPod yet to see if that makes a difference? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If that doesn't work, a restore of the iPod via iTunes may be in order.

Macbook Pro: Play and record sound at the same time

Greetings everyone,
My brother and I have are going to switch go a mac, preferebly to a macbook pro. we used windows so far, but the frustration has grown extremely huge, so it's time to throw off this junk.
We've been working with sound a lot and many times we recorded any sound which played through the computer: that means sound and music from dvds and games or other sources, we couldn't get anywhere else. What we did is simply letting the game or dvd play and record the audio at the same time.
I've testet this functionality in windows via bootcamp on a macbook of friend of mine, but NOT the macbook pro version. It's wasn't really that good as I thought. Sound quality was below what I'd expect.
So here are my questions:
- Does the macbook pro have a better sound card, which enables simultaneos play + record?
- Is good record quality bound to a software I need to use?
Thanks for your replies.

Apple don't have separate "sound cards" like PC's , Martin. The necessary hardware is proprietary , and built into the logic boards.
Both of them have high quality combined optical digital input and audio line in, and combined optical digital output and audio line out. You can also attach various USB or firewire audio input and output devices if you wish. So as far as 'quality" goes, it depends what you are playing them through more than anything else. The inherent audio abilities of both are pretty danged good when using Mac specific software. That is why the music industry love 'em!
Or are you just talking about sound quality through the built in speakers, which are, of course severely limited by the amount of space available, though I've heard far worse from many PC notebooks!?
Cheers

Keys playing two different sounds at the same time

I keep getting one of the synths whenever I'm playing the Pop Kit, or any drumkit, with my MIDI. Basically when I hit a key, two sounds come out of it when it's only supposed to be one. I've rebooted GB and the MIDI with no success. How can I fix it?

That's weird - never heard of that phenomenon. Could it be that the second sound is coming out of your keaboard? What's your setup?

Can a single account be logged into more than once at the same time

-
Firstly, please excuse me if this has already been asked - I tried searching for various terms but couldn't see anything.
At present we run a single account (non-admin) on our iMac G5 which holds all out families photos/music/movies etc. I'm wanting to add a MacBook to our iMac. They would communicate either wirelessly, or via an ethernet hub. We would like to fire up the laptop and log into that same account, so all that information is available (read and write) from both computers, and at the same time.
Is this possible? If so, how is it achieved. Is there some network settings that have to be made on the MacBook?
I'm aware that there will be limitations - i.e. two people won't be able to modify the same file at the same time. Also that the iMac will have to be powered up for the account to be accessed etc.
Finally, due to space considerations I'm wanting to move the home folder for our existing account onto an external FW drive (using the techniques I've found in other posts on this forum). Will this affect any solution to my original question?
Thanks for your time.

When you turn on file sharing, others can see your computer in the Finder > Go > Network window, where they can click on it to see what shares are available. These can be the public folders (which don't need a password to connect), or user folders (which do). By connecting to one of the shares, they then have access to the files within them. If you don't want to use an external disk, you can use SharePoints to share folders within your account, such as Music or Pictures. Just be aware that sharing files within a user account can run into permissions issues, for example trying to edit a document owned by someone else, which is one of the reasons to use an external disk. Tiger and Leopard also support Access Control Lists, but you need to know what you are doing.

Can you run the Import Wizard more than once at the same time?

We're going to run the Import Wizard to import content from one BO environment to another. Can we, at the same time, run the Import Wizard to import different content between those two environments (using the same source and destination both times)? Obviously we'd have to run the wizard on different workstations.
Would this cause any issues? If so, what kind of issues would you expect?
Thanks,
Laura

Yes, this is possible. The source and destination CMSs treat the requests from the Import Wizard like any other -- increasing the number of active Import Wizard sessions just increases the load on these CMSs. Before running multiple Import Wizard sessions, be sure there is ample processing power (CPU / memory) to handle the increased load. and of course, avoid 'touching' the same content in the two sessions in order to avoid unpredictable results.

After updating ITunes, it, ITunes started loosing my music files and stopped playing more than one song at a time also there would be duplicate songs in the same folders.What now?

Sound like something messed up somehow. Maybe you can consider reinstalling the drivers again? @28.86.2.0

Failed to upgrade more than one table at same time

Hi
In Deployment Manager, I failed to upgrade more than one table at same time.
I tried to hightlight 4 tables and set the default action as Upgrade, and click File/Generate Deploy. It passed the code generation step then I click Deploy, they are all failed with no error message.
But they are all successful when I upgrade them one by one. Any one has any idea about this?
For the known reason, we have no choice to do the deployment with action of 'upgrade' through OMBPlus, instead, can only do that interactively through OWB Client. I can't imagine to ask our Production side DBA to upgrade 80 tables one by one. Or I have to use the generated scripts to do the upgrade, which will resulted in 'no deploy status updated' in OWB. Any help will be very appricated.
The version I'm using is OWB 10g.
Thanks,
Daming

Hi
First of all, Patrick's solution doesn't work for me. I didn't do cloning and there is no problem when check the WB tables.
Second, I think your solution is only good for the developing environment just to get tables upgrade via deployment manager. In most cases, when you do a new release on PROD environment you just exp/imp the MDL file from DEV to PROD and any developing is not recommended on PROD. But your approach is trying to manually the DB, and then EDIT the mapping to do the Reconcile and then deploy. Surely you can do that if you have full control on your PROD side. However, in my situation, I have no access to the PROD for the security reason and an DBA Operator of the Client is responsible to implement my Migration process on PROD by himself.

Error: An attribute cannot appear more than once in the same start tag

Hi Everyone,
when i run the page sometimes it works fine but sometimes it throws Compilation Error as below.
"Error(502,1224): file:/C:/Jdeveloper/jdevhome/jdev/myhtml/OA_HTML/fwk/t/Session_2055663493/region1.uix<Line 502, Column 1224>: XML-20124: (Fatal Error) An attribute cannot appear more than once in the same start tag."
And i delete the particular file from the path and run the page so this time it works fine.
But later after sometime i get the same error but the session number will be changed, then again i need to delete it and run.
What can be the permanent solution for this issue?
Plz let me know any suggetions.
Thanks.

Seems like the mdl file is corrupted or was not generated correctly.
Can you try to create the mdl file again and then try the import ?
If it doesn't work then try contacting Oracle Support.

CRS Install hostname being used by more than once for the same node.

Hi, we're installing The Oracle Clusterware and on the Cluster Configuration screen of the universal Installer (the one were you specify the clustername and clusternodes) we get the following error message in a dialog box when the next button is clicked:
"You must enter unique values for the public node name, the private node name and the virtual hostname for all nodes in the cluster. The name, node1, that you entered is being used by more than once for the same node."
Has anyone experienced this error message before and know what the cause is?
Could it be a problem with the /etc/hosts file?
Thanks in advance,
M

Make sure you allocate separate IP addresses on your network for the VIP addresses on each RAC node (this is not the same as the machine IP already configured on the OS).
Also, the installer may complain if your private and public IPs are configured under the same subnet.
Finally, as mentioned before, check that name resolution for all the IPs to be used. On all RAC nodes, your /etc/hosts file should be configured with:
- public name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
- private name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
- VIP name and IP addresses of ALL nodes
Hope that helps

I had problems with my computer,can I download Photoshop CC more than twice on the same computer?

Hi problm,

Can't we listen to 48KHZ and 96 KHZ sounds at the same time?

I have bought E-mu 1212M card. My problem is : I cannot listen to windows sounds or any sound file at 48KHZ when I am at other internal frequencies.
Forexample , when I switch to 96KHZ with Patchmix dsp all the sounds of windows ( media players, applications...) muted and I can only hear 96KHZ applications. So I can use DAW programs at 96KHZ but cannot use other programs to listen to sound files which are usually 44.1 or 48KHZ. I cannot choose them to integrate DAW because of silence.
I want to hear all the sound at the same time. I could do this with my all sound card before. Why can't I use all the sort of sounds ?

Select the music play list you want to listen to and start it playing. Go back to the home screen and start the app you want to use, music will stop. Press the home button two time quickly and it will bring up a simple control for controling the music. This works for me with all of the apps I have purchased including games. Just a note you can pull up the same music control if the iPod is a sleep and locked by pressing the button three times quickly.

Play two video files at the same time.

I am trying to play two video files at the same time. I create two threads, each of which has its own frame, playing button, and builds its own graph to play the file. Now everything seems works except that when the first file is being played and I hit PLAY
to play the second file, the program plays the second file but the first one is paused; furthermore the control button has no response for the first one. Did I miss anything? Can anyone help me figure out the problem?
Best,
Fayin

You don't need separate threads for 2+ playback pipelines because the filters create worker threads internally and don't block execution on calling thread.
If you decide to keep separate threads, you will have to follow Michel's advice and have message pumps on those threads.
You can also have both files in the same graph, in which case you have perfect sync between them (both start playing together in sync), however you cannot pause/stop/run files separately.
The problem you described is most likely not a DirectShow problem and is rather about generic threading, COM or window messaging.
