The system is very much a default vanilla install and configured with Cinnamon. One issue I’m having is figuring out how to stop and start the sound system/driver/service. I have an onboard audio, which works fine and I have a SoundBlaster G6. It seems that when I plug in the G6, and I look in the audio system settings, I can see the G6 appear and disappear about every 2 seconds on the output device list. I figured I needed to stop the sound system before I plugged in the G6. Seems like there could be some contention between the onboard sound and the USB G6.
Secondly, could someone point me to the resource where I can find out how to display a different background on each monitor.
To have it work on startup with the previous settings add to the startup applications nitrogen --restore with at least 1s delay (log out and back in to test).
The easiest thing you can do to avoid conflicts with the onboard sound is to disable the soundchip completely in the BIOS. I did that as well (I use a USB DAC).
I may have to do that. I was just wondering if there was a way to auto-switch between the two. I have the system setup with the onboard sound going to a 5.1 system. I usually use the G6 for headphone use. I know my windozeness is showing. I’m a little more advanced than that tho.
