Hello, I am using a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro (http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/products/audioadv/micro/) with the snd-usb-audio driver (alsa 1.0.13). The card works (my thanks to the devs!), but without a asound.conf file dmix does not work: when trying to run $ aplay test.wav concurrently on two xterms the second one produces a aplay: main:550: audio open error: Device or resource busy error message. At least here dmix is not working out of the box. For other people out there with the same problem, at least on my system this problem was fixed by using the following settings which I found online pcm.!default { type plug slave {pcm "general_sound"} } pcm.general_sound { type dmix ipc_key 1024 slave { pcm "hw:0,0" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 8192 periods 128 rate 44100 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } ctl.general_sound {type hw card 0} One just needs to make sure that the the USB card gets index 0 for this to work (Or change "hw:0,0" to "hw:1,0" and "card 0" to "card 1" in the snippet above).
