Sound problem: /dev/dsp: Out of memory

Sound problem: /dev/dsp: Out of memory

Post by Andrew Davi » Thu, 12 Feb 1998 04:00:00



I've recently upgraded my system from 486-66 to PII-233, but kept
monitor, keyboard ... and soundcard (ISA SB16).

I've got RedHat 4.2 with 2.0.30 kernel, sound installed as a module.
Often playing audio it says "/dev/dsp: Out of memory" (and doesn't play)

/dev/sndstat says
Sound Driver:3.5.4-960630 (Wed Feb 11 10:27:38 PST 1998 root,
Linux andrew.triumf.ca 2.0.30 #10 Wed Jan 28 12:09:17 PST 1998 i686 unknown)
Kernel: Linux andrew.triumf.ca 2.0.30 #10 Wed Jan 28 12:09:17 PST 1998 i686
Config options: a80002

Installed drivers:
Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM
Type 2: Sound Blaster
Type 7: SB MPU-401
Card config:
Sound Blaster at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1,5
Audio devices:
0: Sound Blaster 16 (4.11)

I was going to try building sound in the kernel, but get an error
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.30/drivers/char'
misc.c:182: macro `_basic_version' used with just one arg
 from
include/linux/symtab_begin.h
 -> # define _basic_version(symaddr,symstr)  symaddr, symstr
 and -> #  define X(sym) { _basic_version(sym) }

Anyone seen this? email please.

1. Sound config: /dev/audio vs /dev/dsp

I need some help getting sound properly configured for Netscape.

I've moved beyond basic sound configuration, installing current
drivers and checking out their capabilities. Sun AU format files sound
awful when piped through the /dev/dsp device, but sound too low in
volume when piped through /dev/audio.  I've attempted to use numerous
sound players from the archives, but haven't yet found anything that
handles both AU and WAV formats successfully.  What are my options?

Linux 1.2.13, VoxWare 3.00 installed.  The sound card is a PAS16.

Pointers appreciated.
