Hi,
this is my first post, I’m totally new not only to Renoise but to composing music with software. I’m really glad to have found this project. I’m following the video tutorial step by step.
The issue I’m having now is that when Renoise is running I can’t hear audio from other applications. For example, I’m playing the video tutorial and then I run Renoise to try using it: it happens that the video still goes but audio disappear as soon as Renoise starts, while at the same time I can open and hear songs from Renoise. When I close it, the audio from youtube can be heard again.
I found a FAQ describing the opposite of my actual problem (Why Renoise isn’t able to play when other applications are playing or after other application have used the audio resource?). I checked anyway if any audio manager is running but it’s seems not,
ps aux | grep esd
gives nothing.
I’ll be glad to provide more info if needed. Any help greatly appreciated.
