I have been working with this off and on for some time now and with the release of 2.1.126, there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel: System: Alpha 164LX RH 5.1 2.1.126 sound - 82c931 I can now assign two seperate DMAs to the card and play/record without overruns. But I cannot play and record at the same time. It returns a device busy warning. "sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': Device or resource busy" To record I use: [root@Z speak_freely-6.1c]# dd bs=8k count=128 </dev/audio >sample.au 128+0 records in 128+0 records out to play I am using: play -t ul -r 8000 sample.au Although I can record a sample and play it back correctly in soundstudio, "dd" results in loud static being recorded. I assume that is a format problem so I am not worried about it. But it is the same noise I hear when I try to transmit sound over a network via speakfreely. Any thoughts? /Mike info below: [root@Z /proc]# m dma 0: MAD16 WSS 1: MAD16 WSS 4: cascade [root@Z /proc]# m /dev/sndstat at Nov 7 14:17:37 EST 1998 alpha Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Card config: Audio devices: 0: MAD16 WSS (82C930) (DUPLEX) Synth devices: Midi devices: 0: Mad16/Mozart Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: 0: MAD16 WSS (82C930)
