Hello,

I am using YDL (fedora) on an Ibook.

For some time I was using version 3 and that worked without problems.

Now there was a new version 4.0 based on fedora.

After installation I get the next error while starting :

Error while initializing the sound driver.
SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT failed - Invalid argument.
The sound server will continue using the null output device.

When I try to restart artsd from the console I get the same error.

During the installation the sound test worked fine. I also have OS X on the system and there the sound works fine.



If I try artsd -l0 -F10 -S4096 (as suggested in the artsd info)
I get the following output :

artsd version 1.3.0
gsl: using Unix98 Pthreads directly for mutexes and conditions
autodetecting driver:
-toss :4
-esd :-1
-null :-1
-alsa : 0
-oss : 10
..... which means w'll default to oss
[artsd: 2976} parallel startup detected : sleeping
unix_connect Can't connect to server
(unix: /tmp/mcop-root/localhost_localdomain-0b5d-41994445)
[artsd: 2976] SoundServer Startup ----> got lock
device capabilities revision0 duplex

and then the same error report

Can anybody give me some hints?
