    Been around since OSS and ALSA was the new kid on the block. Yet to experience these supposed sound issues.

      I 'member having to use a script to do software mixing of multiple audio streams in alsa, so I could listen to a music CD while playing WOW. Otherwise whichever thing started first would grab the audio device and the other thing couldn’t use it. This would’ve been back in like 2006-7.

      Same, I have it running on several different laptops/desktops, it’s probably a certain piece of hardware.

      I’m sure it’s happening to people, just not everyone.
