[solved]Alsa: simultaneous playback not working

Hi,

I consulted the wiki entry on simultaneous playback problems, but I could not fix it.

My .asoundrc:

pcm.dsp {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
}
pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card Intel
}
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card Intel
}

PulseAudio and MPD are not installed, and I do not have a /etc/asound.conf.

When running speaker-test while some application is playing sound, this is the error message:

speaker-test -c2

speaker-test 1.0.27.1

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy

Thanks for your help in advance!

Max

Re: [solved]Alsa: simultaneous playback not working

removing

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card Intel
}
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card Intel
}

did the trick...
