Subject:   Sound failures after upgrade to KDE 3.2 and Arts
Message-ID:  <402BA9CF.4000908@earthlink.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
After the round of upgrades to 3.2, my sound has started showing errors.  I have narrowed it down to the arts port which is upgraded.

The error I am seeing is device /dev/dsp/ device busy.  I have tried moving the setting in the control center to dsp0 and the error moves to dsp0 but no changes other than that. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I am continuing to research arts configuration but right now, I'm not sure what I need to change things to.

Below is a list of checks I have made to this point that I forwarded to another list. 

Regards

Mike

Subject: Sound failures after upgrade to KDE 3.2

I am getting sound failures now after upgrading to KDE 3.2.  I get /dev/dsp
warnings on load and XMMS fails to pick up streams now saying the sound card
is held by another application.

I see this is a common error but as yet all I am finding is the debug
 commands to try and no clear direction on what to change.  Thanks for any
 thoughts you can offer.

I can run KsCD and it runs fine.

On startx
device /dev/dsp/ device busy

# sysctl -a |grep snd
hw.snd.targetirqrate: 32
hw.snd.report_soft_formats: 1
hw.snd.verbose: 1
hw.snd.unit: 0
hw.snd.maxautovchans: 0
hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize: 4096
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans: 0

Trying to start artsd manually from the konsole as su:
# artsd -lO -F10 -S4096
artsd version is 1.1.4
gsl: using Unix98 pthreads directly for mutexes and conditions
autodetecting driver:
 - toss: 4
 - null: -1
 - oss: 10
... which means we'll default to oss
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Device busy)

I'm running 5.1 current.
My sound device shows as:
grep pcm /var/run/dmesg.boot
Preloaded elf module "/boot/kernel/snd_pcm.ko" at 0xc06fd350.
pcm0: <SB16 DSP 4.16> on sbc0

and
# ls /dev/au*
/dev/audio0.0   /dev/audio0.1
# ls /dev/ds**
/dev/dsp0.0     /dev/dspW0.0    /dev/dspr0.0
/dev/dsp0.1     /dev/dspW0.1
# ls /dev/mixer*
/dev/mixer0


Running from the Konsole command line works
# cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0c play 1

it was working on XMMS and KSCD before the upgrade.


On the first boot, I got this probably unrelated failure
KNotify failed
