sound on 2 outputs?

[djohnston]

I am going to try and post the photobucket codes here.

I hope that works. I only pasted the http mini-image.  Note that the picture with the sliders IS NOT VISIBLE TO ME, but somehow it shows up in the .png version.  Very strange!
somebody let me know if you see those photos.

Thanx--doug

Did you sign up for TinyPic or Photobucket? You can't use Photobucket here.

I tried to get TinyPic and the machine sent me to Photobucket, which apparently doesn't work.  I'm going to try and use Flikr, if that's OK.  Please advise.  --doug

Reply to myself.  I posted the two pictures on Flikr.  My Yahoo username on Flickr is dougmcgarrett, and the files are supposed to be visible to anybody.  I didn't see any url
code to post.  I really don't know how this is supposed to work.  Let me know if this is OK, please.

This won't help much right now, but...

There is a KDE4 plasmoid called "Veromix" that makes it very easy to send different sound streams to different sound outputs, by simply dragging and dropping individual application volume sliders onto the desired hardware volume control..

As you are most likely aware, this is easily done from within Pulse Audio ....  Veromix being just another another type of user interface, as I understand it.

At this point, there appears to me to be an OS problem .........  neither Qas nor PA work apparently.


So I suggest that dougmack creates a new test user and first tries Qas in that user.

Some of the problems may be user based .....

After you have logged in to your TinyPic account, you should see something similar to this:



TinyPic is a subset of Photobucket. It is not the same as posting your pictures from Photobucket, which is what you are doing.

[dougmack]

I give up.  I can't sign up to TinyPic, it keeps sending me to Photbucket.  I don't know what I used to log in to that, and there does not seem to be any place to log in to TinyPic anyway.

I can run sound to the TV from XP, and that's what I will do.  I hope I can get the on-board sound back for the local speakers.  I REALLY do not want to have to reload PCLOS.

I have too many apps installed, not all of them from synaptic.

Thanx for trying, folks.  I'm just not smart enough, and I'm certainly not patient enough to put up wth this any longer.  Maybe some day NVidia will make a Linux driver
that allows output on both channels.  Until then, local sound for YouTube and XP for TV shows and movies.

Well, that might be an issue...

If you wish - before giving up completely - why not try, with the onboard sound device disabled in bios, to boot up with a live disc and see how that comes out? Can't hurt anything and will only take a couple of minutes.
EDIT: Forgot to mention... if you do this, you should only have your Toshiba connected when booting up on a live CD. Then have a quick look of whatever mixer you have available.

Cheers!

I was going to try that experiment, until I realized that I can't see the TV display from the computer station, and so would not be able to answer the setup questions,
activate Firefox (to get some music), or select and manipulate the mixer options.  I don't have any wireless k/b or mouse devices.  Good idea, tho!
