Lost the ability to play multiple sounds!

Since switching to archlinux, the only problem that I am unable solve is the inablity to play multiple sounds.. i had this problem when i first installed archlinux. back then i tried installing pulseaudio and found that cumbersome. eventually went back to alsa and found magically i could play sounds at once..
now again it has reoccurred ever since the module init tools upgrade. i have tried reconfiguring alsa with alsaconf with no avail.
on trying to play sound file from the 2nd app i get a knotif saying
The audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC880 Analog) does not work
Falling back to .
some of the conf files i have:
[$]> grep MODULES /etc/rc.conf

    i lost the ability to see multiple pages on launchpad - now I am not sure how to get to some of my icons....

    It sounds as though the photos have become corrupted. Try turning off the Sync Photos and letting a Sync take place. Once it has completed, turn Sync Photos back on and resync.

  • Why have I lost the ability to play video in iTunes?

    I recently upgraded to itunes 11.0 but now I seem to have lost the ability top play video podcasts, movies or even see trailers in the itunes store movie section. I did install an application called eyetvreporter to try to recover the activation code for eyetv shortly after installing itunes 11. I am not sure this had any effect because Ii can still see the eyetv on the computer. I have reinstalled os X from the recovery partition and reinstalled itunes 11.0. I have no idea how to reset iTunes to allow me to watch videos.

    Strange! I changed the screen resolution, deleted the eyetvreporter, rebooted and the video came back. The problem is solved but not understood.

  • Lost the ability to play back...

    Something happened where I'm no longer able to play an ything back in Sountrack Pro multitrack projects. I hit the space bar, press the right arrow in the transport controls, and I get nothing. The timecode doesn't seem to be advancing either. The only thing that will play is the video file.
    This all started when I was trying to replace a clip with audio from the same file. The problem with that was that the volume that I was hearing didn't reflect the changes in the volume automation envelope. That's a separate issue and if you have the answer to that, by all means let me know.
    Anyway, when I replaced that old clip, I lost the ability to play back. Dumping my preferences didn't help and neither did restarting the computer.

    The error was caused by a problem with one of my firewire 800 drives. I tracked it down by trashing STP's preferences and restarting without any peripherals (drives, etc.) plugged in, opening STP (which played correctly), then one by one plugging in the drives until STP started having that issue again.
    In Disk Utility I did "verify Disk" and then "Repair Disk" after it found some errors on the suspect disk. That seems to have cleared things up.

  • Itunes seems to have lost the ability to play purchased video

    Before posting here, I've searched all over the place for a solution to this problem, I found many people who have very similar issues, some solved them, but their solutions haven't worked for me, others with problems closer to how'd I'd describe mine have yet to find a solution
    My problem is, when I try to watch purchased tv shows, the video playback is horribly choppy. Most of the time it's like watching a screenshot with audio. (audio plays fine). I've tried all the suggestions of disabling direct3d etc to no avail. I have a brand new pretty beefy system that should have no problems running the video at all. The oddest thing though, is that early today the video worked fine, which confirms that it's not hardware insufficiency. After downloading 2 shows this evening, I watched them with perfectly smooth playback. After getting a few more tv shows, itunes suddenly lost the ability to playback smoothly, even after closing, opening itunes again, rebooting my computer, none of it helped. The only thing left to try which I will try if nobody has any idea what the problem might be, is to completly uninstall itunes and try reinstalling it again, since earlier the playback was fine.
    Has anyone else encountered anything at all like this? Nothing about my system has changed since earlier this evening, I already had the most recent version of itunes when everything was working fine. No display drivers or any of that has changed. It was only a matter of a few minutes between smooth playback and where my itunes perminatly lost the ability to playback video properly.
    I appoligize for the long winded message but I wanted to cover all the bases so people don't end up suggesting stuff I've already tried. The only clue that might be related is during download of one of the shows Windows Vista popped up the message that itunes had stop working, and I could try and find a solution or close the application. I just closed itunes and opened it again. Everything seemed fine but it may be (not positive though) that it was immediatly after that that the video nolonger played properly.

    Post in the iTunes Windows section. This is the iTunes Mac area.
    Make sure that your Quicktime is up to date.

    I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you have a SATA controlled hard drive. Apparently, there's some kind of bug with SATA disks and Vista and Quicktime/itunes video...and possibly Nvidia is involved as well.
    The workaround is sticking the video on a flash drive in order to play it (because that avoids the SATA controller and thus bypasses the issue). It's a crappy workaround, IMO...and I'm not spending another cent on iTunes videos until the issue is actually fixed.

  • My iPhone 5 lost the ability to play through speakers.

    Speakerphone, ringtones gone. I am able to use phone, sounds fine through headset. It was working fine last week.

    The error was caused by a problem with one of my firewire 800 drives.

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns but I can cut and paste them so I know they are still there. Has this happened to others

    The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns A & B but if I cut and paste the table to a new sheet, the columns I am missing will travel to the new sheet.  I have charts and other stuff related the the original table so I need to figure out why I can only see from column C  forward.  I tried to "UNHIDE" the columns but the function doesn't seem to recognise that there are columns missing. Has this happened to others and how did you fix it?

    I've seen it happen before, or at least it sounds something like what I've seen before. The table somehow gets into the margins of the page and the app doesn't know how to deal with it. Go into Print View and try moving the table away from the left side ofthe page. You might have to change content size or resize the table to get it to correct (then put you can put them back the way you like).

  • Play multiple sounds

    Hello!
    How can I play multiple sounds at once please?
    I tried with 2 separate soundChannel vars but they still override eachother.
    Thanks

    play both sounds through the same sound channel? eg:

    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
        <mx:Script>

                private var sound:Sound;                       
                private var soundChannel:SoundChannel;   
                private function play1():void
                    sound = new Sound();
                    sound.load(new URLRequest("sounds/1.mp3"));
                    sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, songLoaded);
                private function play2():void
                    sound = new Sound();
                    sound.load(new URLRequest("sounds/2.mp3"));
                    sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, songLoaded);
                private function songLoaded(e:Event):void
                    try
                        sound.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, songLoaded);   
                        soundChannel = sound.play(0);
                    catch(err:Error)
                        trace(err)
            ]]>
        </mx:Script>
        <mx:Button x="140" y="313" label="Play sound 1" click="play1()"/>

  • I have lost the ability to log into find my iPhone using my daughters iTunes login to track her while she's driving

    I have lost the ability to track my daughters phone using her log in for find my iPhone since updat

    Does she have her own iCloud account?  You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
    But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone".  So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account.  Is that what happened in your case?

    That certainly sounds like bogus software. I'd get rid of it (and do a clean reformat/reinstall of everything in case it has planted some malware in your system).
