Two programs fighting for access to the device? 
- No, I just use mpg123 to test the sound BEFORE start KDE

Does your KDE session try to start a sound server? (i'm not a KDE user, but
the big desktop environments try to do this so they can emit silly sounds
for each user action). The error message seems to come from the aRts daemon

- Correct, the error appears when KDE tries to start aRts daemon, but I
don't know how to correct it.

Are there any other sound programs running while this happens?
Nothing more is running at the same time. My services list is bellow when I
try to start X manually.

RE: Got sound going on a U60 debian smp

2004-11-10 Thread Marcelo Lopes
 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 ?

Best Regards,
Marcelo Lopes

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 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.

If /dev/audio doesn't work, maybe /dev/dsp will.

Try alsaplayer instead of xmms.  I have had mixed results with xmms, but
alsaplayer always works.

To get it playing actual music I had to restart

restart audioctl

installed alsaplayer and it works.
It plays beautifully.

I still have to track down some documentation for this but I found
someone elses config that had the following in it

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.

plugging headphones in and catting a raw audio file produced sound 
except it sounds like jimmy Hendrix.

I guess now I have to set levels using either audioctl or a mixer.



or added cs4231 to /etc./modules ? Have you set the PARAMS variable

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

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.


I am now working on the following.

1. Get the sound card playing raw at the correct level.
2. get xmms  working  with  the sound card ... Currently raw files work 
but  I think I am having issues using OSS pointing at /dev/audio (producing

noise not music (could be sending wrong format to the device)
3. set this up for my user to be a member of the audio group for 
playback and mixing.


Hopefully then I will be able to sort out everyone else in Our Co 
running the same setup!


Thanks Again Steve

Any help would be appreciated
   



What are the failure symptoms and what PCI cards have you tried?  


A U60's onboard sound does work with Linux; and the modules provided
with the Sparc64 2.4 kernel suggest that two types of PCI soundcards
should work: ones based on a particular Trident chipset and ones based
on a chipset used in Creative Soundblaster PCI and possibly Ensoniq
Audio PCI cards.

For onboard sound have you done

  modprobe cs4231

or added cs4231 to /etc/modules ?  Have you set the PARAMS variable

  PARAMS="play.port=line_out"

in /etc/default/audioctl ?


In any Debian install a user account has to be a member of the "audio"
group for the mixer or playback to work for that user.


The mixer's volume level may default to 0.
