Hi, I have installed the alsa 0.9.7 driver successfully as well as RealPlayer 8.0. However, when I start RealPlayer it gives the following message:
"Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it" I am positive that no other application is using any sound device. Some info: <lsmod pipe="grep snd"> snd-intel8x0 21604 2 snd-ac97-codec 45880 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-pcm 78304 2 [snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 18052 0 [snd-pcm] snd-mpu401-uart 4576 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 17440 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 5644 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd-page-alloc 9236 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm] snd 41124 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] soundcore 6276 0 [snd bttv] </lsmod> <modules.conf> probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias eth0 tg3 #alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio probeall usb-interface usb-uhci ehci-hcd alias eth1 3c59x alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 #module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss post-install snd-intel8x0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore </modules.conf> I heard that you could use "artsd realplay" to get the sound working, but this needs the arts sound server which I really don't like (in combination with, e.g., XMMS). Even if I enable arts I get another error, saying it can't find "/dev/dsp" which is correct as I don't have such device.
