I have also posted a similar message in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc.
I cannot get the sound card to work in my Thinkpad 380d which is running
4.3-RELEASE. I have added the following line to the kernel config file:
device pcm0 at isa? port? drq 1 irq 5 flags 0x10
From cat /dev/sndstat
pcm0: <CS4236> at io 0x530 irq 5 drq 1:0 (1p/1r channels duplex)
When I try to run kmp3 I get:
Can't open /dev/dsp because: Device is busy!
How can I find out which process is using this device? Why is it being
grabbed up? After I try to start up gnome I hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 to go to
another terminal. This actually screws up gnome, but I saw this message:
esd: Esound sound daemon already running or stale UNIX socket
/root/.esd/socket
This socket already exists indiacting esd is already running.
Exiting...
Now after getting gnome up I did a ps aux | grep esd and got:
esd -nobeeps
I found a process called esd that was using the /dev/dsp device, so I
killed it. I read a post that there was some bug in KDE, from that
post:
START POST"Installed kdelibs 2.1.2 straight from the port.
% artsdsp -v esd
name:
command line: esd
aRts: hijacking /dev/dsp open...
error on aRts init: loading the aRts backend
"/usr/local/lib/libartscbackend.la" failed
/dev/dsp: Device busy
The problem is that __pure_virtual shows up in libartsflow.so because
it's not being linked with -lgcc.
"END POST
I don't know if that is why the esd process was hanging on to
/dev/dsp, but I thought it a good place to start. So, I killed it and
startd kmp3. I didn't put it in the background, so this is what I saw
on the terminal:
Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Invalid argument
Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Invalid argument
Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Invalid argument
(This message repeated 100's of times until I hit ^C)
Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Invalid argument
^C
Error: BadWindow parameter) 3
Major opcode: 61
Abort trap (core dumped)
So, it seems that killing the esd process allowed kmp3 to access the
/dev/dsp file, but it still cacked. Does anyone know why I am having such
difficulty?
Thanks!
