problems with ts and oss

GlaDiaC · #1 24-01-2003, 15:40

ok

here again.

I can run xmms, mplayer an ut2k3 at the same time... with OSS output

but in TS says

OSS output is in use...

in xmms or mplayer

there are 2 OSS devices

/dev/dsp
dev/mixer

in TS there is only /dev/dsp

look @ this

http://cvs.xmms.org/cvsweb.cgi/xmms/Output/OSS/

perhaps it can help u.

A debug log of ts would be more usefull.

maybe it is a problem with full duplex?
What soundcard do you have, which kernel and which distribution?

GlaDiaC · #5 26-01-2003, 20:02

Creative Soundblaster Audigy (FULL DUPLEX)
SuSE 8.1 with Kernel 2.4.19

N. Werensteijn · #6 27-01-2003, 00:42

are you using alsa or oss ?

I remember something about alsa in suse 8.x being screwd up?

OSS error in OpenSoundDevice (/dev/dsp)

I was able to get my linux working with ut2003
and team speak.

What I did was crosscouple the dsp devices
in the dev subdirectory like this

/dev/dsp -> /dev/sound/dsp1
/dev/dsp1 -> /dev/sound/dsp

Then I told Team Speak to use /dev/dsp1

Then the game thinks it is using /dev/dsp when it is really using /dev/dsp1 and the oss system did not think all of the resources were used up.

I don't know why it would make any difference, but it does in my linux. (Mandrake 8.1)

If this works you can put the changes in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file to make them crosscouple
on each boot.

Hi...

But you have to know, that only SOME soundcards provide 2 dsp devices... as Gladiac said, he only has ONE dsp.

So one more question... does the OSS Error only appear if you have a xmms AND teamspeak open, or does it also appear if you ONLY start TeamSpeak?

GlaDiaC · #10 08-02-2003, 19:02

it appears if I have ONLY TeamSpeak startet.
it appears if I have TS and xmms and mplayer startet.

qip|Virusmaster · #11 08-02-2003, 19:10

Could it be, that you have some sort of Sound Server running? esd or alsa for instance? something is blocking your sound device...

GlaDiaC · #12 08-02-2003, 20:54

there is only oss running

no alsa etc.

BarryMead · #13 09-02-2003, 09:22

Hi GlaDiaC:

Can you tell me how you got the "debug log".
What command line magic did you use?

I scoured through the manual and other forum
posts and found nothing that says how to do it.

thanks!

N. Werensteijn · #14 09-02-2003, 14:10

Gladiac: Have you tried an other recording program together with xmms or whatever?

I Still think the key is that recording / fullduplex and the oss sb16 driver facter into this.

GlaDiaC · #15 09-02-2003, 20:01

under kde runs the arts sound server, which provides playing system sounds and mp3 etc. at the same time.

the arts soundserver blocks the sound device for other programs.
