Re: Sound card not working

[that the sound card isn't working]
Ok, after much fooling around, I find that ESD is running, and has the DSP open. So, I killed it, and things got farther. But, still weren't working. Looking around some more got to the point where something complained that ALSA wasn't there. I installed ALSA, and now the sound works for sound apps. It still doesn't work for the "system sounds", the ones for "you have mail", "game won" etc.
I have written a little script which displays the process id of ESD, which allows one to kill it by hand. If I knew more script programming, I could probably verify it and kill it from the script.
This is a work-around, not a fix, IMO. What is ESD, and why does it interfere? It appears to be a sound server. So, if that's the way things are supposed to work, then why don't the apps use the server socket? If it isn't the way things are supposed to work, then why is it running? Or, if that's the way some things work, but not others (like GNOME likes ESD, but other apps don't) then is there some way to get them to coexist? I see that ESD is set to release the DSP after 5 secs. Yet, it seems that it doesn't.
Anyway, sound now sorta works.
Thanks for your time.
Mike

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
