Re: [xine-user] Still having problem with sound in combination with the H+ dxr3

Hello Josh Thompson. It was Today when you wrote:

I'm not sure how you work out which one is which. I think /dev/dsp0 is
the PCM, and /dev/dsp1 is the synth.

Do you have a DXR3 card? If so, that should become /dev/dsp2. If you
don't, then trying to send sound out of /dev/dsp2 will fail because
there's nothing there :-)

/dev/dsp0 should work though. Could be a permissions problem...

Outputs from Xine would be helpful :-)

It's a silly system, isn't it. I can't play the midi music from Doom
with this card because it doesn't do FM Synth (this is the non-SDL
version of prboom, so I can't use SDL_mixer), so the doom musserv
doesn't run. Maybe I'll get a Creative SB Live! 1024 Platinum and have
more DSPs than I know what to do with (plus a cool front box thing) :-)
