Compiled kernel kills Real Player
 
OK, you kernel hackers. Come to my rescue. For fun I compiled the 2.6.12 kernel from kernel.org.

Sound works fine in XMMS and Kaffeine and mplayer. But it does not work in Real Player. I get a message saying it can't open the device as it is in use.

No problem with the Mepis stock 2.6.10 kernel.

Did I miss a config parm? Or did Mepis patch the 2.6.10? Anyone have any idea at all why Real Player won't work when using 'my' kernel?

Thank,

Al

Real player only supports OSS sound modules
so seee that u have that suport in ur kernel

That might be it. I thought that I had both OSS and ALSA in the kernel but maybe I didn't. No big deal.

i coul solve the problem when i built the OSS support in the kernel
not as modules

I could be having a similar problem... when I recompiled my 2.6.10 kernel (just for kicks), I now get NO sound, and this error when I boot up:
Code:

Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.

which is odd since I really didn't change any of the sound features while doing xconfig

what's wrong?

did u load the previous config file to compile this kernel or just compiled the kernel with the default configuration that xconfig had for u

regards

did you add the alsa drivers and oss drivers to the config file? mepis compiles alsa seprately and you will need to compile that again if you didnt

Keithjr 06-28-2005 02:28 PM

I operated from the defaults initially (at least, the ones that xconfig started with), I was unaware that alsa/oss were not built in.

thank you, I'll get to work on that
