I can't answer your question except to ask whether you have ALSADevice: 0:0 in your .zinf/preferences. Can you explain to me how you are playing multiple audio sources. I have a Thinkpad T23 and according to lspci the sound chip is Multimedia audio contoller Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC97 audio controller (rev 02) I can only use one audio source at a time and didn't know there might be a way to have it do otherwise. Would you please explain specifically what you did? In my kernel configuration I'm using the Intel/SiS/nVidia//AMD/ALi Ac97 Controller. Thanks. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
