OSS sound driver doesnt work
Hello. I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1, with a SoundBlaster Audigy soundcard, and my motherboard has a crappy Cirrus Logic onboard sound card. When I type kldload snd_driver to autodetect my soundcard, it detects the onboard soundcard and not my SoundBlaster Audigy (I can live with using the onboard soundcard, I would just rather use the SB Audigy). Then I load KDE, and I hear system sounds, and I can use programs like kaboodle and noatun just fine. But when I fire up XMMS (or any sound program not designed specifically for KDE), and tell it to use the OSS driver, I get an error: ** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): Device busy In KDE, I am using the aRts sound driver, if that helps. And I hope I have made sense, I am not good at requesting help. Any suggestions? Thanks _ Is your PC infected?

You can work around it by disabling arts from KDE Control Panel (sound system or smth), I had to do it on my 4.10 box (FM-801 crappy PCI soundcard).

Re: OSS sound driver doesnt work
It appears that getting SB Audigy to work is a bit more work than that. Hopefull this posting on freebsd-newbies from January will still be useful: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-newbies/2004-January/001394.html You may also want to look around in BIOS to see if you can turn the on-board sound card off. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're interested, here is a great paper on how to become better. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Regarding xmms, I've had heaps of trouble with it for the past couple of years on various versions of FreeBSD and a variety of Linux distributions. It just doesn't seem to be maintained very well. There are alternatives available in ports/audio and ports/multimedia, many with better features and interfaces than xmms. -- Charles Ulrich System Administrator Ideal Solution, LLC - http://www.idealso.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
