From kde-multimedia Sun Aug 19 13:52:01 2001 From: Richard Bos Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2001 13:52:01 +0000 To: kde-multimedia Subject: Warning: device /dev/dsp can't be opened X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-multimedia&m=99822901909964 After the upgrade to kde-2.2 I get the warning message as written in the subject. I can listen to CD's using kmix and kscd. It seems I'm not the only one, more people at the suse mailinglist reported this problem, but there is no solution yet. Is this a suse problem or a kde one? Looking forward to any hints, (please keep me on the CC when responding as I'm not subscribed to the list) This is the info I have for now: I've a regular SB16 card, and suse-7.2. 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. richard@linux:/dev > ls -l dsp* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jul 17 17:32 dsp -> dsp0 crw------- 1 richard users 14, 3 May 21 14:21 dsp0 crw------- 1 richard users 14, 19 May 21 14:21 dsp1 crw------- 1 richard users 14, 35 May 21 14:21 dsp2 crw------- 1 richard users 14, 51 May 21 14:21 dsp3 crw-rw---- 1 root root 55, 0 May 21 14:21 dsp56k (I'm investigating what the correct settings should be) According kcontrol->sound I've the following info Sound driver:3.8.1a-980706 (Alsa v0.5.11 emulation code) Kernel: linux 2.4.4-4GB Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Tupe 1-: ALSA emulation Card config: Ensonic AudioPCI ES1371 at 0xb400, irq 5 Audio devices: 0: ES1371 DAC2/ADC (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT enabled in CONFIG Midi devices: 0: ES1371 Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: TriTech (23) lsmod gives the following: snd-pcm-oss 18816 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm-plugin 15024 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-mixer-oss 5120 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-seq-midi 3568 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 2992 0 [snd-seq-midi] snd-seq 42656 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] snd-card-ens1371 2208 1 snd-ens1371 9632 0 [snd-card-ens1371] snd-pcm 30560 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-ens1371] snd-timer 8560 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-rawmidi 9664 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-ens1371] snd-seq-device 4032 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq snd-rawmidi] snd-ac97-codec 24576 0 [snd-ens1371] snd-mixer 24224 0 [snd-mixer-oss snd-ens1371 snd-ac97-codec] snd 34032 1 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-card-ens1371 snd-ens1371 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer] soundcore 3632 5 [snd] An excerpt from my /etc/modules.conf: (I assume I have to do something with this, but I haven't read the underneath mentioned README file yet.... #***************************************************************************** # Example configs for ALSA # You don't need to run isapnp with ALSA, it has full PnP support. # See /usr/share/doc/packages/alsa/README.SuSE #***************************************************************************** # # ALSA native device support and OSS emulation support.
