Hy,
at this moment is very hard to configure the audio settings, because there are several possibilities what you can choose:
alsa, pulse, oss, and the audio chipsets in my case NVIDIA CK 804 - IEC 958, Nvidia NVIDIA CK 804.
So in my case 5 possibilities to chose the right mode for audio settings.
But from this five possibility none of them are good:
- alsa: you can play more then 1 audio file in paralel, but you can not use dolby and dts, you can not change the audio volume from the audio or video players (I'm using optical connection between my computer and my amplifier)
- pulse: you can not run more audio files in parallel, you can not play dts, ad dolby, you can change the audio volume from the player
- oss dts and dolby is working but you can not play more audio files in parallel, and you can not change the voulme form the player
- NVIDIA ....IEC 958 i don't know what is for.
- NVIDIA .... i don't know what is for.
So actually we have a lot audio manager and all of them are just partialy usable for a general user for general PC using: game, music, movie, applications.
My suggestion is to make just one audio manager from five but this should be easy to configure, and should work easily in all situation!
(If you are not able to write the proper software for all chipset than lets implement the same situation as at the video cards: the chipset maker should provide the driver).
If you are voting with minus pls explain, because I do not understand why some people do not want to have just one strong audio manager instead of 5 which are good for nothing!
