Sound Problem in KDE
Upon completion of a fresh installation of KDE on FreeBSD 6.1, I have been unable to get the sound to work correctly in KDE. Upon starting up of KDE, this error message is displayed: Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Device busy) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. I have tried rebooting the system, but the problem remains. since KDE did work with FSBD 5.4 on this PC, I am not sure what the problem might me. -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The way I tracked it down was to fstat|grep dsp in order to see what had the device file open. What prompted this was I had been running skype and, after being disconnected, I was unable to reconnect. It turned out that konqueror had grabbed the device when I played a media file and hadn't released it afterward. Hope this helps, Duane Whitty -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You haven't provided a lot of information (sound card, dmesg etc...) but try this: Add this in your /etc/sysctl.conf file: hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 hw.snd.maxautovchans=4 Nicolas. -- FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Sat May 27 11:58:25 EDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CLK01A PGP? : http://www.clkroot.net/security/nb_root.asc pgp8VBTIBO32j.pgp Description: PGP signature
