ALSA plays only one source at a time

OK. I give up ... I'm posting.
I've spent about 6 hours going back and forth and I'm about the same as I started.
Long story short... This is a fresh install.
Audio worked "out of the box" but I soon realized that if I'm playing music I cannot play anything else. So, things like notifications, email warnings etc. are no longer allowed.
I've used the wiki to create a new ~/.asoundrc but to no avail.
Here is what my system reports:
lspci -vvv

I created a config file at /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to ensure the snd_hda_inter driver loads first.

# /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf |

options snd slots=snd_hda_intel,snd_usb_audio
options snd_hda_intel index=0 model=auto vid=8086 pid=293e
options snd_usb_audio index=1
I've also created a ~/.asoundrc with as follows:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card Intel
ctl.!default {
type hw
card Intel
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
So ... what am I missing?! Or am I doing something wrong?
This thing is driving me to drink !!
Thanks.

You shouldn't have to enable dmix. It is on by default.
The problem with your .asoundrc is you default is the card not ou dmix plug.
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
pcm.dmixer {
type plug

IPhone plays only one song at a time

After 2 weeks of the iPod feature of my iPhone working just perfectly, last night I discovered it will no longer go through a play list. No matter what I do, it plays only one song, repeatedly - either a song I choose or a song selected randomly by hitting Shuffle. Shuffle only chooses the first song randomly, after which that song plays over and over unless I manually choose another. I deleted my playlists this morning, rebooted iTunes, re-synced my playlists to the iPhone, same problem. Other than having to go through an entire Restore, are there any other options? This actually occurred out of the blue, NOT after a re-sync with the computer, therefore NOT caused by the iTunes update to 7.3.1.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

THANK YOU!!! I never would have found that myself because I don't even look at albums let alone play whole albums. My playlists are favorite songs from here and there and rarely more than one or two from any particular album. I don't know how that got changed since I have never looked at an album before, didn't know there were time and shuffle markers. I must have gone bump in the dark... so thank you again!

Playing only one song at a time

I know this is unusual, but is it possible to only play one song at a time on an iPod?

Can play only one strack at a time

I recently bought my first Mac. Copied my itunes library from old PC. All seemed fine but I can only play one track at a time. iTunes will not automaticlly advance to the next track in the list in either the library or play lists. I have just installed 7.4.2 but this did not fix the problem. Any suggestions welcomed.

As jere7my pointed out, I think this has to do with the tracks in your library not being checked. To ensure that all of them are, go to the first track in your library, select it, hold down the Apple key and click. Repeat if necessary to enabled (check) all tracks.

Media Player Problem playing only one song at a time

Recently acquired a BB Curve 8330 (OS 4.5.0.127) running on a Bell Enterprise server. I bought a SanDisk 16G Media Card. The card is formatted, the songs are there (about 20 albums) I can view, scroll, choose shuffle, choose an album, choose a artist or any other option. No matter what I try, it will only play one song at a time. Once the song plays, it just stops and stays at the end of the song. Periodically, the entire device will shut down and restart. I saw somewhere else in the forum to pull the battery, wait 1-2 minutes, didn't work. There was also a post to try to downgrade the software from 4.5.0.127, but really, is that necessary?
Is there a fix, patch, upgrade, or other I can try rather than going backwards?
Please help. Really frustrating.

I was having the same problem. I found out the CD's that I ripped were not in MP3 format they were in windows media audio format. I was able to load them to my phone and they would play one at a time or when a song got to the end it would restart my phone. Replaced WMA files with MP3 files and it fixed the problem. Hope this helps.

Can you tell me why we play only one song at a time and stop now???????

OK....I will try to stop seething and write clearly. DL'd ITunes V8.0 which ran great for about a week. Now when I try to play from Music library it will play the first song then stop. If I try to advance using the forward button it stops playing as well. This only happens in the Music Library. Playlists function as normal. Please tell me this isn't another Apple "Enhancement". Ugh.

Are the little checkboxes to the left of name ticked? If not iTunes will not advance to the next track as iTunes skips unchecked tracks.
To check all, press ctrl & click in one of the little boxes or use select all, then right click in the selection and choose check all.
Usually this affects both the music library and playlists so I am not sure about it.

Chp Play lists - how to play only one chapter at a time

CS4
The setup:
2 timelines
1 menu
1 chapter playlist
3 buttons (all, wedding, reception)
I'm not seeing how to make the DVD return to the main menu after playing chp 1 (Button 2 [wedding]), if user clicks button 2 which is linked to chapter 1 thru a playlist on timeline 1.
That is, I can set the end action of timeline 1, I can set the end action of the playlist, and I can set the end action of ch1 by way of the playlist panel.
It appears ch1 wants its end action set to start playing chp2 (button 3 [reception]) to provide thru play if the `All' (button 1) has been used.
How then can cause chapter one to be played and at the end return to main menu instead of going an to button 3 as It would if user had hit button 1.
(all).
What I end up with is a situation where if user wants to view only chapter 1 by hitting button 2 (wedding).... it still continues on to button 3 (reception) at the end.
Since I needed this project done now... I took the hardway around and ground out another piece of video containing only chapter 1.
Now I get the result I was after, but it seems very inefficient. Ch1 on in the playlist is just setting there unused and I suspect there is a smarter way to do it.
To cut down on the amont of data on the DVD, I guess I could have gone ahead and made a piece of video contaiing only ch 2 (button 3 [reception]).
But still that too, although I've saved considerable data being written to DVD, it still seems pretty inefficient. And I suspect the playlist is provided just so I don't have to do it this way.
Can anyone outline how to deal with multiple chapters so that the DVD returns to the main menu after chp1 or any other chapter that has chpters following it. (If user so desires)?

Stan Jones wrote:
The chapter playlist will be one chapter, which you appear to have set up.
Set the END ACTION of that CHAPTER PLAYLIST to last menu.
Yes I have. Are you saying that if I set the End action of ch_PlayList to last menu, that then when a user hits button 2 which is linked to chp1 on the playlist, that play will stop after chp1 (button 2) has played?
As apposed to what I have done as descripted... setting Ch_plylist end action to Main menu/default.
In that setup pressing buttob2 ends up playing right thru the whole thing rather than stopping at the end of ch1.
PS - I'm busily coping a project to a test area now, but how can test that without having to play clear thru chp1 to see what happens?
OH Wait.. are you saying NOT to include chp2 in the playlist?.... ahhh now that makes sense.
Thanks for the input.

You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???

If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

Creating iphoto book and can't seem to view/ work on only one page at a time.

I am creating an iPhoto book and can't seem to view/work on only one page at a time. The Navigator, that allows you to focus on a part of the page is actually 1 1/2 pages in size so 1 1/2 pages are in view when trying to work on one page. What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this. It is very distracting viewing half of a previous page when trying to create a new page and write a story to go with the related pictures.

My Navigator seems to be to large. It covers 1 1/2 pages while in the training information it shows as the size of one page. Is there a way to adjust the size of the Navigator?
You can hover the mouse over the left border of the Navigator - then the cursor will turn into a resize cursor and you can drag the border and make the Navigator panel smaller by enlarging the source list.
Or drag the lower right corner of the iPhoto window and shrink the appliaction window. This will only make the navigator smaller - the source list and information panel will stay the same size.

When defining copy rules, only one source field allowed

Our users have requested the facility to allow them to copy pricing condition records when in in VK12 transaction. But when configuring the copy rules, we have come across the following problem:
When configuring copying rules for copying pricing condition records,
there is no possibility to use more than one source/target fields.
In our example, the condition table created for a certain pricing
access sequence contains keys such as Sales Organization, Sold-to Party
"and" Product Hierarchies level 1 to level 9 (e.g. PH1 - PH9) .
In the condition table definition, fields PH1 to PH9, although key
fields, are also defined as footer fields. This means that per sales
organization and sold-to party, we can create more than one condition
record based on different combinations of PH1 to PH9.
However when setting up copy rules for conditions in SPRO (SD -
Pricing Control - Copy Control for Conditions) to allow our users to copy the condition records, for a given Source /
Target table, the standard selection screen only allows us to define one Source / Target field.
In our case, this is not helpful. The configurator should be allowed
to select more than one source field (i.e. PH1 and PH2 and ..... PH9). At this moment,
we can only select as source field PH1 or PH2 or PH3., etc..
Steps for the Reconstruction:
- Run Spro.
- Select SD --> Pricing --> Pricing control --> Copy control for conditions -- > Copying rule for conditions
- Select 'New Entries'. Selection screen is displayed. The issue is that in this selection screen, the configurator is allowed to select only one source field. He should be allowed to select multiple fields.
Can you help us with this problem please?
Your help is much appreciated!

Hi Ralph,
I don't like that methode. Importing the same transport 15 times, each time changing the source-system mapping and making sure, that source-system gets the changes seems to be a huge source of errors, which will be hard to find.
What do you think of the following idea to solve the issue a totally different way:
All transfer-rules directly connected to the source-systems are stripped of all Coding, so there is a plain 1 by 1 transformation including 0logsys.
The InfoSources attached all lead to one ODS-Object, which has the only purpose to collect the data from the source-system without any transformation. So some fields a filled by a system and other fields maybe not.
The coding specific for source-systems is moved to transfer- / update-rules from that ODS-Object to the original ODS-Objects / Cubes and the "collecting" ODS-Object is emptied after every loading process.
This will result in a single point of change. It will be quite a huge program (maybe in startroutine) but it's the one and only point, where changes and corrections have to be made.

Robert

How to play only one episode of a podcast on the iPod Classic 120GB?

With my previous iPod-- the 60GB iPod Photo-- I could play only one episode of a podcast. I would scroll to "Podcasts" on the main menu, find the name of the podcast I wanted to hear, click on an episode and only that one would play. If I wanted to listen to all the episodes of that particular podcast, I'd access it through the Playlist feature.
The system above for playing a single episode doesn't seem to work on the iPod Classic 120 GB. All the episodes play no matter how I access the podcast.
What am I overlooking?
Thanks.

I must have had the Shuffle setting turned on for the old iPod, but I forgot all about that.
Probably not! My 30GB video iPod will only play one Podcast episode at a time and this does not change by using shuffle. I think your 60Gb iPod was the same as the 30GB.
As S_Edwards has posted and as you have found, the Classic does use shuffle to alter the way Podcasts are played. Quite why Apple use shuffle to control single or continuous playing of Podcasts, and then not document it either, is a mystery.
As a useful reminder, while the Podcast is playing, the screen display will show 1 of 1 to denote single-episode mode or 1 of x to denote continuous-episode mode.

IPhone plays only one playlist and won't others

Hi guys,
can anyone help me; I have my iPhone for so long time, always updated with latest version of software, but recently after latest update 3.1.3. iPod plays only one playlist and won't play any other. Also can't enter any other artist file or videos. When I try to, Ipod closes! The rest of phone works fine.
Could it be problem with latest update? How can I reset latest update?
Thanks!

The latest update works fine for most people, but your's might not have been applied correctly for some reason.
Try the standard troubleshooting steps in order:
Restart your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset your phone: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Restore your phone: Restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Playing Only One Song

How do I play only one song on my iPod, then stop without automatically going to the next song? I can't find a setting and not sure how to do it.
I play in a small band and have loaded recorded audio backing tracks into the iPod. I want to be able to play the song (i.e., backing track), then stop when it is finished without automatically going to the next song.

Thanks. I knew I could create a playlist with one song in it. However, when on stage that will take too much time between playing individual songs. Unless, I set up a single song playlist for each song, of which there are hundreds that we do.
I was hoping I could find a setting that would allow me to play a single song directly from the Library.

When I open up iphoto and click on the events tab then double click on an event, it used to show minis of all the photos in that event. Now it shows only one photo at a time. How do I get it back? Can you help?
