Hello, I have an issue with enemy territory. I have installed it from AUR and I have no sound. I have searched for this issue and discovered it is a common, but no answer for me!
I get this from et.
------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
Could not open /dev/dsp
------------------------------------
I have tried what several other forums suggested:
echo "et 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
This did not fix my problem. Tho this command was referenced to tons on other forums, I never found what this command actually does. Some enlightenment would be appreciated.
I have alsa-lib, asla-oss, alsa-utils all installed. I got a little sound when I emulated oss but it was horrible quality, and very choppy.
lsof |grep "/dev/dsp" finds nothing else using dsp, and I have tried changing permissions to /dev/dsp also w/o any luck.
Sound works great otherwise.
I'm running out of ideas.
Any thought?
Thanks.

run this one as root or sudo ...
#!/bin/bash
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
Are u listening?

Well, it says it cant access the dsp device... So either you just cant, because you dont have the permissions, your user hasnt been added to the audio group, whatever.....
Or, something has already opened it and doesnt want to share it... Not sure whether this is entirely correct, but I've known kde's arts deamon grabbing the /dev/dsp for itself, causing other applications like xmms to not being able to access it. I could solve it by either stopping the arts deamon, or either selecting another audio pluging for xmms...
Hope it helps

I fixed the problem by disabling ESD, it was jamming up /dev/dsp .
Thanks arre for pointing me in the right direction.
