Jaakko, Hi. Sorry if this email doesn't help. I'm currently not using my HDSP 9652 at all since the drivers just don't work, but in the meantime I tried using Alsa with my motherboard's sound chip - a Via8235. I had similar problems as you with that chip. Often apps like aplay locked up for at least a minute or two, and some game apps like Frozen Bubble would lock up forever as far as I could tell. I have also seen the same 'device or resource busy' messages. Last evening I found that at least for aplay, if I specified the specific hardware interface, such as aplay -D hw:0,1 wavefile.wav then the system works fine, at least for aplay. However, just starting aplay using aplay wavefile.wav resulted in error messages. The system still hangs on Frozen Bubble and many other games, so I need to know how to make this -D hw:0,1 option the default. My .asoundrc file does not seem to make that happen. Takashi-san said that some motherboards have BIOS problems. Possibly that's the cause in my case, but I'm not so sure. Maybe you can try aplay -l and get some info about the interface that will help. Again, sorry for probably wasting bandwidth. cheers, Mark ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: eBay Get office equipment for less on eBay! http://adfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/711-11697-6916-5 _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
