 |
|
Hi!
Somewhat off-topic as it's a general and not a gentoo specific issue...anyway: I often do have the problem
that in VMware the client OS cannot access /dev/dsp because it's allegedly busy.
How do I actually find out what process is using /dev/dsp? Apprently not with lsof...
Thanks

are you using arts or esd? that'll do it, unless you configure it to use dmix.
cheers

| Well, arts is enabled, yes. But neither disabling it nor killing artsd does help... |

depending on your sound theme, arts might re-enable itself right away depending on how you tried killing it... i would highly recommend setting arts up to use dmix. (use alternate device... plug:dmix)
cheers

| Nope, according to ps -ef | grep arts there's no artsd no more. I even unmerged it completely... |
