No play or record under RH8

[Fender]

I'm getting the following error in my log when I start TS. No sound and no recording.
xmms, quake3 and recording all work fine. Any ideas? My sound card is the Realtek ALC650 AC97 on board my nForce2 MB.

ERROR,All,TOSSioThread.Initialize,Exception EOSSException: OSS error in OpenSoundDevice (/dev/dsp): Device or resource busy

Here's a little system info:

I have these device files that look relevant:

[GNU]

are any other audio programs / games running at the same time ?

ps -def ought to tell you.

Unless Gnome is loading somthing automatically, the answer is no. I'll have to double check once I get home since work has ssh blocked on the standard port. :(

[GNU]

tip: most firewalls allow port 443 for Http SSL. its encripted and if you run ssh on port 443 most adins dont notice the encripted traffic as anything diffrent from SSL. -- worked for me for 4 years :-)

maybe theres something in /tmp locking the device ? -- if xmms works then TS ought to really.

OK, I installed alsa and TS will now work.
However q3 will not start up while TS is running. I just sort of hangs there in a black window.

I tried
echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "quake3.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
but that didn't work.

Any other ideas?

try this
/dev/dsp -> dsp1
/dev/dsp0
/dev/dsp1
since you don't have dsp0 make it
mknod --mode=600 /dev/dsp0 c 14 3
then start ts using dsp0

[Fender]

That didn't work either. :(
Oh well, I just disabled my onboard audio and poped in my old SBLive! card. Works like a champ now. Maybe the next revision of my onboard drivers will help if/when that comes out.

Thanks for the help.
