Description

Eugene Gorbunoff:

Glassman (developer of popular PM123 audio player) reports:

Shared mode is not supported by new versions of Uniaud. The users are very angry.

Listen to MP3 music and start a game (Solitaire). The music is stopped. You can listen sounds from the game. Exit from the game and music continues play - the users don't like such behavior

Hi

I confirm the issue with ArcaOS 5.0.2 and Uniaud 2.2.6 / 2020-05-06. Running a video with audio on VLC 3.0.5, while playing I open Klondike Solitaire. Solitaire sounds, VLC keeps playing on the background the video but without sound. Once solitaire is close, VLC audio returns.

Tested on a Thinkpad L420 (Audio / Intel Cougar Point PCH - High Definition Audio Controller [B2] / 8086:2805) https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_L420

Regards

I think this needs software mixing to be implemented to resolve.

Most hardware only supports a single output stream - so if Klondike 'locks' the audio output, an mp3 has no option but to be paused.

Some hardware (ie sblive) supports multiple output streams, but currently versions of uniaud16 don't support it.
