|
|
Hi there
Installation was smoth so far (emerge doom3, copying pak4 files)
It runs but unfortunately without sound.
That's what i get when starting doom3:
Code: |
----------- OSS Sound Initialization -----------
WARNING: failed to open sound device '/dev/dsp': Device or resource busy
WARNING: sound subsystem disabled
|
What is oss? Do I have to install anything else?
Cheers

OSS is the Open Sound System. Have a look at the Gentoo ALSA Guide, I suppose you're using that.
If you had searched for it first, you could've found lots of answers to the OSS question already. So in the future, please always try a search first (otherwise your post is likely to be labeled a duplicate, and moved).

Yes, thanks a lot.
I think i didn't install alsa correctly since i've not yet used this guide (well, sound worked from beginning, therefore there was no need to do this 'till doom3 for me).
And of course yes, i'm always doin' a search first. I've searched a lot about this topic and read most of them. Unfortunately it always seemd that they had slightly different problems (mostly something about frequencies) and therefore it didn't match my case.
Sorry for the convenience when this is _really_ already postet.
Furthermore i'll try to install alsa correctly and have a look on it again.
Thanks again!
Lemy
--- Edit: -------
Solved it with installing alsa (with oss support) correctly according the guide.
Now i've got this problem: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=233027 _________________ Why-o-why, didn't I take the blue pill? |

good to see that you could solve it
happy zombie hunting
btw, next time you post something similar, please also post your uname -r, your hardware config, and other related info (i.e., using alsa/oss etc.)
then your thread will sound less noobish and maybe nobody will suspect you didn't even search. actually it can happen that you don't find something at first, but if you also don't provide any info about your system, there's a high propability of being ignored, or misunderstood. i had to learn that too
anyway, have fun with your gentoo.
