I've just installed Rezound v0.8.3beta on my Mandrake 9.2 system. When I try to record something from the soundcard I get the following error: "Virtual void COSSSoundRecorder:initialize - error opening OSSdevice '/dev/dsp - Resource temporarily unavailable" I am able to open, play and edit audio files such as MP3s okay. I just can't record new ones. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Regards, Lloyd |

Hmm, you probably have some process running that has the audio device opened for recording. Normally an input device can only be opened once at a time. My first guess would be that you have the arts daemon running in full-duplex mode (meaning it opens the audio device for both input and output at the same time). If this is true, then you're running kde.. go to the kde control panel -> sound and adjust the settings. -- Davy On Mon, 2004-01-19 at 05:11, Lloyd Brady wrote: > I've just installed Rezound v0.8.3beta on my Mandrake 9.2 system.

I've checked the KDE Control Centre, and arts isn't running at full-duplex mode. The error message also occurs whether I've booted to KDE or Gnome. I've checked aumix to make sure the Line-in is set for recording, rather than Mic or CD. Mind you, I also have Audacity installed, and it seems to hang when I try to record (or more specifically, when I try to stop recording - but nothing gets recorded).

Hi Davy, I think I've worked it out (all but the solution, that is). It seems to be a problem my Mandrake 9.2 has with my hardware. When I first installed this version of Mdk I couldn't get a peep out of it - all audio apps (xmms, totem, etc) would freeze when I tried to play something. I checked the hardware setup for the sound card, and changed the driver from the default ALSA snd-via82xx module to the OSS via82cxxx_audio. The result is audio plays fine, but I can't record (alsa's not running). But If I switch back to the Alsa module, the recording apps like Rezound seem to record (I don't get that error message), but I can't play anything (catch22!). Now, I suppose I can either wait for the new version of Mandrake (10), which is meant to be released around March, and see if they fix this bug, or switch distros to something a bit more audio-friendly (I'm quite interested in the AGNULA distro which is being developed). Or if you have any other thoughts/suggestions... Recording isn't essential for me (I would mainly do it for transferring my old LPs to cd), but it's a nice extra.

G'day Davy, I finally worked it out, thanks to your suggestion about the kernel. I went to www.viaarena.com to see what they said about their VT8233 chip, found their own driver module (which they naturally recommend above the Alsa and OSS alternatives), and installed that. Now my system both plays and records perfectly. Thanks for your help.
