Greetings!
Has anyone managed to get GPSK31 or KPSK working with SuSE8.2?
I have been trying for ages to get them working. All I get are two error messages:
Unable to open audio device /dev/audio. Inexact sampling rate: request for 8000 resulted in 48000
/dev/audio has the correct permissions, as far as I can tell (owner root, group audio). I have tried altering it to me as the owner.
I have tried altering the sample rate in K Control Centre --> Sound system, but it has no effect. I have also tried disabling aRTs.
Starting the programs in Libranet gives the same error messages, but I can run PSK31 without problems in Windows98.
Any advice will be gratefully received.

Keith, just a guess, but does Suse find the sound card ?? I know Mandrake does not find ISA soundcards no matter what you do. I ended up buying a PCI card. BTW most onboard sound is run in ISA mode. GL...73

Hi Keith,
KPSK is working like a champ here under Suse 8.2. What kind of of soundcard do you use? It looks that you have a AC97 like Soundcard.
These cards can't switch to another sample rate than 48000. Under M$shit the multimedia lib will do resample, under Linux is no such lib. I had to disable the onboard sound and insert my old SB PCI 128. I heard that Alsa hase the resampling feature but I dont know if its working with a AC97 sound card.

It's an AC97 chip on the MotherBoard. From what you have both said, that seems to be the problem. I'll have to get a cheap PCI 128 card, which I suppose must be Sound blaster compatible. I don't do any hi-fi stuff on the computer, so it doesn't need to be a very expensive one.
Many thanks for the advice and information. I really do appreciate it.

P.S. I forgot to add that SuSE does find the sound chip, as does Libranet. I can play system sounds and CDs. Keith
