Steve, I'm having a similar problem with my Ultra10+Sarge (2.4.26).
I've loaded CS4231 module in modconf and it works fine with mpg123, but when I load X ( KDE ), I receive the message : "Sound server fatal error: AudioSubSystem::handleO: write failed Len=-a.can_write=8192,errno=11(Resource temporarily unavailable) This might be a sound hardware/driver specific problem ( see aRts FAQ)" Do you know what's happening ?

(missing > symbols etc..) I just went back to Debian's 2.4.27-1-sparc64-smp on my U60 (normally I use a 2.6.8 to get USB2), and the cs4231 module loads and works. I loaded it with modprobe then reran /etc/init.d/audioctl start . > I then found some info on the module you suggested cs4231 and followed > a couple of steps to get my card producing output > > rmmod soundcore > insmod audio > insmod cs4231 That looks good. > audioctl -f /dev/audio -w play.port=headphone I don't think /dev/audio is relevant here. Maybe try audioctl -w play.port=headphone There are examples of how to set PARAMS in /etc/default/audioctl . The initscript for audioctl runs something like audioctl -nw $PARAMS and PARAMS is set in /etc/default/audioctl . Not too complicated. > lsmod output showed > > Module Size Used by Not tainted > cs4231 21936 0 > audio 23744 1 [cs4231] > ac97_codec 16752 0 (unused) > openprom 5312 0 (autoclean) > lp 8728 0 (autoclean) > parport 34064 0 (autoclean) [lp] > autofs4 10236 0 (unused) > hid 17336 0 (unused) Get rid of ac97_codec . > I was wondering what exactly to put in here and how this works I still > have to track down some documentation for this but I found someone > elses config that had the following in it > > char-major-14 soundcore > alias sound-slot-0 cs4232 > alias sound-service-0-0 sound # mixer > alias sound-service-0-3 sound # /dev/dsp & /dev/audio alias > sound-service-0-6 sound # /dev/sndstat options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 > dma=1 dma2=0 # numbers may vary You shouldn't need add any of that for the built-in sound, if you include cs4231 in /etc/modules . > This is probably wrong for my setup but I ithink I need to understand > whats going on before I go down this road. > > like wise for this recomendation > > Have you set the PARAMS variable > > PARAMS="play.port=line_out" > > in /etc./default/audioctl ? > > Thanks for this info I will try to find some documentation on these > files and parameters and go from there.

Try alsaplayer instead of xmms. I have had mixed results with xmms, but alsaplayer always works. -- good luck, SP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
