i updated my kernel to 2.6.8-24.3-default with YOU online-update. now esd starts after booting. i can play music with xmms, watch tv with kdetv (video4linux) and i have sound events in gnome. but the quality of the sound is bader than before: i am using now snd-intel8x0. so will try to reinstall the nvsound-module. but i think that esd has problems with oss-modules. does anybody use esc with oss-modules? regards philipp Am Montag, den 15.11.2004, 07:09 +1000 schrieb daniel:

This looks as if the sound device that /dev/dsp is linked too may be wrong...

Try this:

log in as root..

cd /dev mv dsp dspbak ln -s dsp0 dsp

if that doesn't word try:

rm dsp ln -s dsp1 dsp

also.. if this doesn't help, there is a chance the symlink is being created by modutils..

check /etc/modules.conf and make sure there is no post-install command for sound/alsa/etc...

Then try making that first symlink again..

Hi Phillip,

I definitely don't recommend running it from init.d..

To check why it doesn't run try running it from a terminal:

esd

see if any error messages are printed.

If it fails to run because it can't open the device then try running

lsof /dev/dsp

This will tell you which programs are blocking the sound device..

Also check that esd is running from the terminal (ps ax | grep esd)

i have in gstreamer-properties for audio default Sink: OSS and default Source OSS allread selected.

when i go to prefences:///Personal audio and test the sound events, i can't hear anything. but when i start xmms i can listen to music and i can watch tv with sound.

why i dont have any sound events in gnome? Any hints?
