    Amarok & XMMS - Sound problem in Ubuntu 9.04

    Hi,
    I use Ubuntu 9.04.
    For some mp3 player, I didn't like rhythmbox, so I installed Amarok.
    I had some problems which I'm gonna tell.
    Then I installed XMMS, I again had the same problem.

    When I open xmms or amarok firsly, it plays the mp3 or wav files without any problem but while it is on, if I open something else, such as youtube, or facebook video, I can't get any sound from them. XMMS still works, plays, I can get the sound but no from youtube.

    Even if I pause, or stop the song in xmms, it still doesn't apply. I have to close xmms, then restart the browser, then open the video - whohoo! I can get the sound finally.

    The same thing appears if I first open youtube. I can get the sound, but while it's open, if I try to play something in xmms, it doesn't work.

    Could you please help me?

    This is what happens when the soundserver fails to do its job for whatever reason. I find this usually works:

    unfortunately it didn't work. But there is no option on my voice configuration panel such as:
    Enable Software Sound Mixing (ESD)

    could it be the problem?
