I've used kvoice on my mandrake 7 and 7.1 installations and liked it very
much. This time I've got a problem I can't work out. I'm running mandrake
7.2 with kde 2.1, a rockwell chipset 56k /voice/data/modem and an ensoniq
es1371 sound card. Running kvoice as root from a terminal I get the
following:
[root@localhost /root]# kvoice
uid = 0 euid = 0
gcfg=//usr/lib/kde1-compat/share/apps/kvoice/config
PID could not get read.
Failed contacting audio server
Got write permission to m/vgetty config files.
Then when I try to play the greeting message:
number of files in greeting dir 2
greeting
playing /var/spool/voice/messages/greeting
device =SoundCard
Writing Wave file: Microsoft PCM format, 1 channel, 7200 samp/sec 7200
byte/sec, 1 block align, 8 bits/samp
Kvoice writes the greeting.wav in the temp directory and it plays fine with
another audio player but for some reason kvoice is not connecting with the
audio server and doesn't play it. When someone calls in and the modem
answers they can't here the voice message either but the message they leave
is recorded. I have to play the messages back when decoded by kvoice one at
a time in the temp directory with another audio player. Kvoice was installed
by root and permissions are OK. I've got no problems with any other audio
programs. I'm stumped. Any suggestions? Is this a bug with kvoice in
general - or with the kde1-compat (backwards compatability) libraries (most
likely?) - or just with my setup? I've posted this before but still haven't
got any answers. Any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance -
