-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dmix is a software mixer for alsa. If you're using I believe alsa 0.10 or later with a card that isn't multi-channel, dmix is used automatically, so you don't need to do anything to activate it. Otherwise, you can activate dmix with a $HOME/.asoundrc file. You'll need to search the web to find out exactly what should go in that file to activate dmix, since I got rid of my $HOME/.asoundrc when alsa started supporting dmix by default on cards which need it. I'm by no means an expert on this, so anything I've said here stands to be corrected.
