A method is proposed for determining the relaxation times of isolated groups of current carriers in a simultaneous measurement of the amplitudes of quantum oscillations of the velocity and damping of sound in a metal. The relaxation times of holes in the third (r{ — 2.5 X 10~10 sec) energy band and of electrons in the sixth (r2 = 4X 10"10 sec) energy band of tin were determined.
