Yes, this is the suspended aplay. artsd is probably not using /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p but /dev/dsp0 directly. I don't know, if it would show up in the user list for pcmC0D0p then. You might check for users of /dev/dsp0 and /dev/dsp, too. Well, aplay not starting (which is what "running for an infinite time" means) is typically a problem with an occupied sound device. I would be a certain amount that there's still something under the hood. You might also try to restart ALSA. If you have a full install, there should be an init-script somewhere under /etc/init.d named something with alsa (it's "/etc/init.d/alsa" on Debian, and "/etc/init.d/alsasound" on some other dists.) Try restarting ALSA with that like "/etc/init.d/alsa restart" or "/etc/init.d/alsa force-restart" ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ __footils.org__ --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.

It may not seem so, but this it's much better. My (string) guess is, that some other program is occupying the sound devices now. Do you run some sound daemon like Artsd under KDE or esound with Gnome? If yes, you should be able to deactivate them in the Control Center, or whatever those modern Desktops use for that. You could also look in the output of "ps aux" for something like "artsd" or "esd".

Many distributions allow only members of group audio access to the
audio devices. But you could just make yourself a member with some of
your distribtions management tools like "adduser" or "useradd" (or
even just editing "/etc/group" by hand and adding your username
manually, but better use your dist's tools)

This reeks of permission errors on the audio devices. Could you
recreate the devices with the snddevices script from the ALSA
distribution? You could also try a "chmod -v o+rw /dev/snd/*" to make
them world read- and writeable, which in general is not so
recommended, though. Better have them owned by root.audio "chown
root.audio /dev/snd/*" and mode 660: "chmod 660 /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp*
..." so that only members of group audio are allowed to use them.

If aplay doesn'T work also, it's not an error with OSS-emulation, but
"lsmod | grep oss" should show them like:

"groups" is a command you can use in a terminal to check which groups
you belong to. There are some more funny commands in Linux, like "id"
or "whoami" ("Who am I"), which are invaluable tools if you're logged
in to many machines all over the net at the same time like I often am. ;)

Could you also try to play something with "aplay" or any other native
ALSA software? It might be, that only OSS programs fail. The ALSA-OSS
modules are loaded, right? If yes, then I'm beginning to meet my

Well, but this isn't fixed by using sndconfig instead. Some common possible causes: Did you turn up the mixer settings with alsamixer? What errors do you get? Are the alsa-modules loaded and the OSS modules not loaded? Could you post the relevant part of your module configuration? You can get it with: grep 'snd\|sound' /etc/modules.conf ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ __footils.org__ --- This SF.

I have no idea how I can see what's going on. Everything seems fine during the ./configure, make, make install, and alsaconf phases, but then when I want to play something, either nothing happens, or I get back some crazy error messages.

No, it's not. As far as I know sndconfig only configures OSS modules. Use alsaconf for ALSA. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ __footils.org__ --- This SF.

[Alsa-user] sndconfig
Does sndconfig crash something when it's used with alsa? sndconfig returns some stupid error related to via82cxxx_audio - this is not a module from alsa, or is it?
