[SOLVED]Error opening PCM device hw:0,0

finferflu · 2008-09-21 13:52:57

I am trying to use Jesusonic, but I get the following error:

mmanu > Desktop/jesusonic-0.991-linux-x86/jesusonic -mode ALSA -nbufs 2
Jesusonic v0.991 - Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Cockos Incorporated
Using output mode: 'ALSA'
Opening ALSA 'hw:0,0' for read
Opening ALSA 'hw:0,0' for write
Error opening PCM device hw:0,0

My audio card is an integrated Intel one:

Audio device: Intel Corporation module: snd-hda-intel 
          82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller

I am not very expert with audio devices and functionality, so is there anything I can look up or do to solve this problem?

Thank you for your time

What's the output of cat /proc/asound/cards?

finferflu · 2008-09-21 14:46:29

Here you go:

 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xf0580000 irq 16

Hi again finferflu,

I downloaded the software and it's working here, so bare with me while I guess (which I am doing). What about cat /proc/asound/devices?

finferflu · 2008-09-21 15:49:39

Thanks, skottish, for your effort

Here you go:

  2:        : timer
  3:        : sequencer
  4: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
  5: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
  6: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
  7: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent
  8: [ 0]   : control

My lack of understanding is really showing here...

The default format for alsa is implicitly defined like this:

jesusonic -mode ALSA -in hw:0,0 -out hw:0,0

I'm posting this in the hope that someone that knows hardware will be able to tell you how to identify the proper address. Of course another (very hackish) solution is to just try some other value like hw:0,1 on both. 0,0 and 0,1 work on my machine, but it fails with the same error you have on 0,2.

Thanks, skottish!

jesusonic -mode ALSA -nbuff 2 -in hw:0,0 -out hw:0,1

Was the way to go.

Now I just wonder: do you also get an empty effects menu? Last time I have used Jesusonic it was full of effects... I might be missing some other download perhaps...

skottish · 2008-09-21 20:52:31

When I get to the first screen, it says "No effects active -- hit A to add an effect". When I hit 'a', I get a list of effects: Delay, Guitar, Meters,... Is this what you're missing?

Yes, that's what I'm missing, I don't see any list.

I'm sort of stuck how much farther I can help. If I add anything to the list I get a segfault. It's probably because I'm missing something; I'm on 64 bit and got lucky with the 32 bit libraries that I have.

finferflu · 2008-09-21 21:01:42

I'm on a 32bit, but the app is recommended for usage on a 64bit machine (I know it works on 32bit because I have used it in the past on my previous 32bit machine).

EDIT:
Found out: my working directory wasn't the one containing the jesusonic executable, so I guess the app follows a relative path. That's it!

skottish · 2008-09-21 21:16:09

The download that I found is without a doubt 32 bit. It's the only one I found. Although, they do reference a 64 bit version of Reaper on the page which includes Jesusonic.

Ok, I must have misread it...
Anyway, I found where the error was actually lying: Firefox was apparently using the playback device, so it was busy. Stupid me, not thinking about it before.
