satelliteuser083 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) I inadvertently started amaroK while Audacity was running and it looks as though the former has grabbed exclusive use of the audio-system :unsure: because, when I now try to start Audacity, I get the message: There was an error initializing the audio i/o layer. You will not be able to play or record audio. I assume that it IS possible to arrange for BOTH to access audio. or at the least, to get amaroK to relinquish control. Can someone help me here? Thanks. This is Mdv2006, BTW. Edit: I'd also like the change the mp3-default from amaroK to Audacity; how would I go about that? Thanks, again Edited January 15, 2007 by satelliteuser083 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Go into System - Configuration - Control Center - KDE Components - File Associations. There, you can change which program opens the files you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I don't think it's possible to have them both running at the same time, at least when using kde. I've run into the identical problem and have to not only close amarok, I have to kill the kde sound server and restart it in kde control center>sound>sound system before audacity will run. The kde arts sound server has been known to be buggy for years. Thankfully, arts is being dumped in kde 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
