Another tool to find out?

Hi Carlos,

I would think either your sound is not fully configured or there is a
limitation/bug with the module.

My sound chip (SiS si7018) is fully supported. QAMix displays the chip number
and revision in the title bar and all of the functions work: input selects,
mutes, balances, levels, monitor mic or mix, stereo<>mono, capture level &
mic boost enable, etc.... literally everything.

The end result is I can run your sample command and hear festival
pronouncing 'hello' while listening to an mp3. It is properly mixed, too, not
one sound interrupting the other.

In fact, I've only ever seen the type of problem you're describing when
there's a real problem between the config or code and hardware. How deeply
have you reviewed the module docs for your hardware?

regards,

Carl
