No sound in OA when audio player working

[Rajoy]

In Linux, when another app is working with sound, i.e. a player plays it, or Opera has played a sound, I have no sound in OA. I need to close every app that made a sound before I can get sounds in OA. This is very annoying. I assume that like some other old apps, it tries to take the audio device exclusively. What can I do to avoid this?

You have to install either Pulseaudio (works great on arch linux, default in ubuntu (maybe it needs some tweaking)

The main problem is openal!

Check this link maybe it siutes you distro to. Another option is use jack or artsd.

Which distro do you have?
