It seems you're not using ALSA's dmix or similar thing. Check what ALSA device are you using.

aplay --version: 1.1.7 by Jaroslaw Kysela
cat /proc/asound/version: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k4.18.0-kali3-amd64
Need i to install something newer or else?

My guess is you don't need newer version of ALSA. You just need to check MOC config file if it is using ALSA's "default" device or e.g. some "hw" device which bypass dmix. Also, your .asoundrc file might specify something that breaks dmix. It's really hard to guess without any hard data (e.g. debug output from MOC, aplay -l, aplay -L, ...).

Ok, i removed moc config file and i don't have .asoundrc file, nothing was happened. output from:

Ok now i know what is the problem. It is libasound2 package, when it is upgraded moc can't play music with others sound source and displaying "no valid sound driver" or "device or resources is busy". libasound2 version 1.1.6 working good but 1.1.7 generate this above problem (for me). Thanks Tomaszg for help and everything :)

That's surprising. I'm on alsa-lib 1.1.7 myself and everything works fine. Maybe this package ships together some different default settings.

Yeah that is strange, they maybe fix this in next update. Now i hold libasound2 package with "apt-mark hold libasound2" and waiting for update. Thanks again Tomaszg
