ALSA-oss compatability works, but not programs intended for alsa ?
hi, i have a rather strange porblem...
Info.... fedora core 1 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl sound related output from lsmod = Quote:
i have ran the snddevice script. i have un-muted all audio chanels with aumix and alsa-mix i have saved configureatino with alsactl store. i have followed every manual exactly. NOW... porgrams which use OSS output, for example XMMS and Mplayer work perfecty, the OSS modules are not loaded in the kernel, so they MUST be working though the ALSA compatability modules which ARE loaded. however... when i attempt to run a program intended to use alsa, (quakeforge 2) i get errors that /dev/dsp is not a valid pcm device, cannot open /dev/dsp. any ideas ? |
Yes, I have an idea, but only if you are using KDE 3.2. Are you?
|
I have the same problem!
Quake 3 and Vendetta just say that they can't load the sound driver. Dunno why. |
Im using KDE 3.1.4
but tell me your idea anyways ? |
Well, KDE 3.2 takes exclusive control of the sound system, and won't let programs access it directly, but I never had the same problem with KDE 3.1.4. However, if this is the problem, then disabling the aRts sound server should fix the problem.

yeah, i dont use the arts sound server.
Cummon.. some1 has to know ? ive tried 2 different sound cards. ive done everything. ALSA-oss works... so why not direct ALSA ? surely oss emulation should be harder to get working that alsa ! this is madness ! |
