Firefox and ut2004 sounds at the same time

I can't hear ut2004's sounds when firefox is running.
I found out it is happening because /dev/dsp is busy (im using alsa).
Is there anyway to hear sounds from both apps at the same time?
(I have read that there is a way to have multiple apps use sounds on the same machine, but I have no idea how to do this)
Sorry for my English.
Thanks.

Strange... the only problem I've had with sounds is when one program is using oss, and the rest are silent. If you're using alsa, you can work around the issue by installing alsa-oss, and starting the oss program with alsa-oss "pathtoexecutible"
someone correct me if i'm wrong

  • 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

  • How to listen to music and record sound at the same time

    I want to figure out a way to record sound and listen to my music at the same time. Most recording apps stop my music when it starts to record and I can't find an app that does both. Any ideas?

    Not possible since the iPod only has one audio processor.

  • Why can i rotate screen and have sound at the same time.   Why is only option one or the other

    why cant i rotate and have sound at the sametime?  why does it have to be one or the other.   

    Do you really think it's not possible to do both and set them up the way that you want them to be set up? You just don't understand how the process works.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.

  • My iPod is playing internal and external sound at the same time when my headphones are connected

    Hi, I have an iPod nano, 16 GB, 5th gen, that I've had for almost five years. It has never given me any problems before, but today when I plugged in my headphones the sound played not only inside the headphones but through the iPod's external speaker. When I turn the volume up or down only the external sound goes up or down, the headphones still play music at the same volume. I tried connecting the iPod to other headphones, and inserted and removed the headphone jack from the iPod about 20 times, the only thing I haven't tried is restoring because I don't know if that would make any difference and I would like to avoid restoring if I can. Thank you for your time.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but it didn't work.

  • 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.

  • Can i have the orange firefox symbol AND the firefox menu bar showing at the same time?? and how??

    hi, i just downloaded firefox 16 and would like to know, can i have the orange firefox symbol thats at the top left corner of the page, AND the firefox menu bar showing at the same time??? i'm new to this, and old, and hope i can do this..thanks for your help...joan albert

    Here are two "Menu" add-ons which alter the Menu bar into one button.
    With this one you can move the new "Menu" button into the Customize Palette, and then when you hit the '''Alt''' key the "Menu will open down from the Titlebar on the left. Won't affect the action of the Firefox button when you de-select the Menu Bar.<br />

    This one I haven't used recently, but you can play with it to see what is possible. <br />

  • It is possible synchronize sound and frame exactly at the same time?

    I need to change a frame in relation to a sound, and I need to do this more exactly possible.
    I try something like this:
    on changeFrame
    if sound(1).mostRecentCuePoint = 1 then
        go to frame "1"
    end if
    if sound(1).mostRecentCuePoint = 2 then
        go to frame "2"
    end if
    ..... and so on
    I try also this:
    on changeFrame
        if member("Tempo1").cuePointTimes[2]  then
         go to frame "2"   
       end if
    With this method sometime the sincronization  between soud and frame is not exact.
    Is there a way to synchronize sound and frame exactly at the same time?
    Thank you.

  • Using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds.  i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??

    Uh .... Yes you can. You just have to understand how the whole thing works.

    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

  • 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.

  • Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer but unable to get bookmarks from old drives to new.

    Installed new hard drive and windows 7 at the same time. Left old hard drives in computer, installed firefox however I have no idea in which file the old bookmarks are located. I still have the old files for firefox in the old drives.

    Your "Firefox personal data", like bookmarks, are stored in your Profile folder in Firefox. See this support article about how to recover that data from that old hard drive and transfer it your your new Profile.

    After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.

  • Getting Logic master  to send to both 1-2 and 3-4 at the same time

    I have an native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 'sound card' that I'm running 2 different sets of M-Audio monitors off of. My question i, can I run the master output to both 1-2 and 3-4 at the same time so I can easily check mixes on both sets of speakers without changing every single tracks output?
    Also, is this possible to do in iTunes also? I can find nothing in Logic (or anywhere) that will allow this and I initially thought my device was broken until I simply choose 3-4instead of 1-2.
    thanks so much!

    In Logic you could just setup additional sends of your Audio tracks using the send knobs and send the signal to a Bus. Set the outputs of that Bus to 3-4 and you'll have your signal played through 1-2 as well as 3-4.
    Also, if any of the audio tracks used sends (reverb on a bus..etc) those would also have to be sent to the same bus as the audio tracks.
    panleft-
    How about routing all the outputs that are currently on Output 1-2 to a bus first then:
    Option 1: Switching that bus's output between outputs 1-2 and 3-4 (for A/B comparisons)
    or
    Option 2: Use the Send on that bus's output to another bus, route that second bus's output to 3-4 (so both busses are sending audio to both sets of speakers simultaneously).
    As an alternative, the Mackie Big Knob is a great hardware solution for routing a signal to 3 sets of speakers, allowing you to switch among them with simple button presses.
