Before I get inside KDE, the sound works fine, and I can test the soundcard using eox to play songs, or cat /etc/dsp. After I log in KDE, and the Arts server runs, I can't use any other application that uses sound. If I give a cat /dev/dsp it gives a "Resource Busy" response. If I try to run xmms or any other sound player, the same problem.
Does anyone has a way to fix this?
You need to use the KDE Kontrol Centre to release the device after a certain amount of time. Something like 30 seconds should do it.
Or configure XMMS to use artsd...
It doesn't work. Crashes.. But I need to run VMware and it can't open /dev/dsp too.
that being the case, you'll have to 'killall artsd' before you run VMWare... I'm not sure if there's a way around it, but iirc VMware only uses direct access to /dev/dsp and can't/won't share with a sound daemon...
