osstest works... no sound in kde though

[nadam]

Hello,

I am running FreeBSD 6.2-BETA2. When I do the osstest... the sound test works great on /dev/dsp0. However, I get no sound on the rest of the tests on /dev/dsp1, /dev/dsp2, etc. I do not get any errors with osstest or with soundon, though.

I made the settings to KDE as described in this forum, however, still no sound in KDE. If I change the selected audio device in KDE to just "Open Sound System" (not Threaded)... I do get sound for a few seconds... but then I get a big error from arts saying "Sound Server Fatal Error: cpu overload, aborting". If I have the audio device set to "Threaded Open Sound System", I do not get any errors or warnings... just no sound.

Hopefully someone could give me some things to try. Let me know if I need to post up more information about my setup.

Thanks,
nadam

Regarding KDE audio, you need to make the following changes:

1) From the KDE Control Panel select Sound and Audio then in the sound server settings
a) Set the SPeed to 48000
b) Set the API to Threaded-OSS
c) Uncheck the realtime priority setting (the latencey stuff).

2) Save and log out and log back in.

Hello,

Thanks for the response!

Yes, I have set the KDE audio settings to exactly these settings.

I have found out that if I set "Override device location" to /dev/dsp0 and apply the changes... after artsd is restarted I can then click "Test Sound" on the General tab and I DO hear sound. However, after that initial test I do NOT have sound in KDE anymore... even if I click "Test Sound" again. The only way I can get the "Test Sound" to work again is to restart the sound system (artsd).

Also, if I have "Enable the sound system" checked in KDE...when I go to a console and type osstest it shows /dev/dsp0 as being busy and then tries /dev/dsp1 and so on.

Code: Select all

[nadamson@Freedom ~]% osstest

*** Scanning sound adapter #-1 ***
/dev/dsp0  Intel High Definition Audio pcm1 output (adapter0, subdev0)
- Device busy (opened by PID 1488/artsd)

*** Scanning sound adapter #-1 ***
/dev/dsp1  Intel High Definition Audio pcm2 output (adapter0, subdev1)
- Performing audio playback test...
  <left> OK <right> OK <stereo> OK <real srate 47966.00 Hz (-0.07%)>

However, I don't get any sound from the osstest except from /dev/dsp0.

Do you think that sound does work one time from the "Test Sound" button immediately after enabling the sound system in KDE because /dev/dsp0 is not "busy" yet... and then it doesn't work any more in KDE because /dev/dsp0 is busy so it then tries /dev/dsp1 which I don't get any sound from?

Thanks
nadam

Hi There,

I have exactly the same issue here. The message log states

Nov 25 05:11:50 Ev kernel: hdaudio0: <Intel High Definition Audio> mem 0xefffc000-0xefffffff irq 21 at device 27.0 on pci0

I am using a Dell M65 Precision with the SigmaTel High Definition Audio - Only the dmesg is different to nadam's outputs, so I will not repeat the rest unless requested.

Thanks

I have almost the same problem. But arts works with OSS at my computer. I can replay the KDE test sound several times. But it uses as much CPU time as it can... If I use realtime priority, I can't even use my computer... I don't want my CPU to be burned...
If I use OSS, I get the same console output from osscore.
I have something more with arstd -l 0:

I've updated arts to 1.5.5,1 , but that does not help.
I've downgraded to OSS 3.99.4d from OSS 4.0 RC build 179 , and everything become better, except the starting takes longer time...
Now arts works normally with Threaded OSS, and even more, the soft synth shows up! Although KMid and "Test MIDI" still do not work, that seems better.
