[SOLVED] alsa sound mixing/sharing/muxing (with dmix) not working

[tomeara]

With alsa I couldn't play sound from two programs at once. One solution is to create a .asoundrc file in your home folder with the following contents.

Code: [Select]

pcm.dsp {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
}
I got this from the Arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA#Software_mixing_.28dmix.29
