Sometimes sound problem
Hi all,
My problem seems to be that when I ran dselect last
week on my testing (home) box last week from testing
(please, no flames. I admit that I know what i have
done and that I play in dangerous waters), after a
reboot I lost SOME sound.
By that I mean that most applications (xmms, gnome,
pan, xgalaga, q3demo, etc.) where I enjoyed sound
before, now either hang on sound initialization (I.E.
q3demo, xmms) or report "/dev/dsp device or resource
busy".
I know that my 2.4.2 kernel is configured
correctly.
ra kernel: es1371: version v0.27 time 21:26:58 Mar 2
2001
ra kernel: es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device
id 0x1371 revision 0x07
ra kernel: es1371: found es1371 rev 7 at io 0x7000 irq
19
ra kernel: es1371: features: joystick 0x0
ra kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id:
0x8384:0x7608 (SigmaTel STAC9708)
and that I have sound in some games like armagetron
and xtuxracer (which i BELIEVE use libsdl for sound
access) but not in other applications.
A listing of devices is as follows:
ra:/dev# l audio
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 11 Mar 8
01:18 audio -> /dev/audio0
ra:/dev# l dsp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 9 Mar 8
01:18 dsp -> /dev/dsp0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 12 Mar 8
01:25 snd -> /proc/es1371
ra:/dev# l dsp0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 3 Mar 8
01:18 dsp0
ra:/dev# l audio0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Mar 8
01:18 audio0
es1371 is built directly into the kernel as per
the default make as is soundcore.
I have tried to track this down for a week now and
have had no progress from pouring over the FM in all
sound related areas. In following the list I see that
this is not a problem others have run into either.
The only other "fallout" from this testing update
is that the "home" and "end" keys no longer seem to
work as expected (they produce a tilde ~ character
now) in a Eterm or in the console (I HAVE seen alot of
console updating in the last week) but I expect that
it is a work in progress and will be fixed soon.
That I can live with but the absence of xmms I
cannot endure too much longer. Please help!!!
Any assistance will be GREATLY appreciated and
rewarded (in the way of FTP access to my library as
well as my never ending esteem!)!!!
Thank you for your time.
