Linux Sound Card Driver Inferior to Windows Driver?
I'm having an issue with my sound card. I like to talk to my friends on Skype via voice and things while I'm playing games and stuff, but I've noticed something. Even on a different PC with a different distro of Linux, I ran into this issue. Linux sound drivers seem to be capable of fewer channels or something. Like in Windows, I can talk to a friend via voice on Skype and play WoW or Half Life or something with no issues, but in Linux, if I try to do this, the sound is disabled in the game I try playing. I can't play music in the background while I'm playing WoW or anything. I can only have one application accessing my sound card at one time. Is there a way I can change this so I can possibly talk to someone on Skype and play WoW at the same time? This limitation makes trying to use TeamSpeak or Ventrilo in Linux pointless.
