No Sound Recording [solved]

[tl017]

Hi All,

 

I installed Mandriva2006_64 on a AMD Athlon 64 3500+, Board MSI K8N, onboard sound chip nForce3 250Gb and with snd-intel8x0 driver.

 

I can listen to music from my Hauppauge TV-Card (bt878 chip) and play systemsound (ogg-files from KDE -> Systemnotification menu). But when I try to play an ogg-file (or other formats) from my home directory with XMMS, there is no sound. XMMS seems to run, but I can`t hear anything.

When I try the same thing with MPlayer a warning messeage pops up:

 

"AO OSS audio setup

Can't open audio device /dev/dsp. The device is busy."

 

Some seconds later MPlayer plays the soundfiles despite this message.

 

But the problem is, that I cannot record sound!!

 

As root "/sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp" shows nothing (when no sound application is running). When I start KHdRecord and type in agains "/sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp" I get the message, that KHdRecord is using dsp of course. So that works. But what is blocking the /dev/dsp when no other sound application is open?

 

I have no idea what to do. Please help!

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

 

I solved the problem by myself:

 

I bought a PCI soundcard, deactivated the onboard soundchip and now it works.
