A program I've been working on for some time uses sound generated and played thru /dev/dsp. Before my program starts, the error-checking routines make sure that the sound card is configured; if not, then the program pops up an error-window. Here, on this old platform, my ISA soundcard went south and the program does what it is supposed to. It pops up the error-window and quits. My second FreeBSD system has an AWE64 which is configured into my KERNEL config file. When I exec my program on this second system, and when I try to use the soundcard, no-joy. The message from the driver is that /dev/dsp is "Busy". Anybody know what's going on? Any ideas on how to fix this problem? TIA, guys, gary -- Gary D.
