<font color="black" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2"><font color="black" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2">I was able to get MythTV to work with my sound card by reinstalling several times. Then I got a Plextor external TV tuner, installed the drivers, and now MythTV cannot capture audio from /dev/dsp. /dev/dsp1 (the Plextor card) works fine.
<br><br>I might also mention if I run<br><br>aplay /dev/dsp<br><br>I get: <br>aplay: playback:2021: read error<br><br>And if I run<br><br>aplay /dev/dsp1<br><br>While it is in use, I get <br>/dev/dsp1: Device or resource busy
<br><br>I'm confident the device is not in use, because I get different messages from devices in use, and I don't think it's a permission issue, because the two devices have the same permissions, and /dev/dsp1 is usable.
<br><br>-Austin<br><br>> Sometimes the <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 128);">sound</b> driver is been used by another process. Try "fuser <br>> /dev/dsp" to see who is using it and you can try to kill it.
