Check if anything else has the sound device file open. less /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/info and look at subdevices_avail (at the end of the file) If avail is 0, then something already has your sound card open. (This might not be a problem, depending on the drivers/hardware; e.g. My Intel HDA, w/ Sigmatel STAC9271D codec, shows 1 subdevice, and 0 avail when anything is playing. It allows apparently unlimited stereo output streams (at 48kHz only), or a single multichannel stream at any sample rate.)
You can check what processes have the card open, with lsof /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p I found audacity kept switching to using the digital output of my sound card, which isn't hooked up. But you did say you set it to Alsa (default), which should work. Other ALSA programs work for you, right? e.g. aplay, or mplayer -ao alsa, or whatever. (check with lsof while the programs running to make sure it's opened the sound device directly instead of starting artsd or something) -- audacity does not play a sound since Gutsy upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
