The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

Iam receiving two video streams through different interfaces on the same machine (ubuntu). The first video stream runs with no problem but the 2nd one gives the following error:

oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp)

The video for the 2nd one runs fine but no audio. How can let the 2nd instance of VLC also use the audio device ? any suggestions ?

thank you for your time!

Use esd or alsa output module

how can I set audio output module in VLC ?

In the preferences, in the audio part.

I have only following options for the audio output module:

Default
File audio output
Dummy audio output function
File audio output
Dummy audio output function
Linux OSS audio output
Linux OSS audio output
?

install vlc-plugin-alsa
