aMSN never played sound from the beggining, but someone told me to go to Preferences > Others and change the Sound Server from play $sound to aplay $sound.

This worked for me. Changing to Use the Snack library also worked...

But it won't play any sound when other programs are playing sounds...

I tested with every program I have, even trying different sound outputs...
All of them played the sounds with Rythmbox playing...

So... what can I do? :confused:

In Gnome's sound panel, I can't test the sound with ALSA or OSS. It give me the following message


audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application.

Same problem here, I have no sound in aMSN when Rhytmbox is playing (I guess any other application).

I have a Dell XPS M1330, just updated to Hardy from Gutsy, I had no problems in previous version :(.

Anybody knows what the problem is?
