[mythtv-users] DSP Sound Question

[Chris Ogles]

I had mythtv working great, but the computer puked on me and now I am
having sound trouble.  I am running this under Gentoo and the newest
alsa-driver (sound driver is via82xx).  I can get video and sound with
tvtime.  I have also done a aplay /dev/dsp and I can hear the sound just
fine that way.  I have sound from tv card going to line in on the sound
card.

The problem is when I try to watch a recording or live tv, I get the black
screen of death.  The console that I launched from doesn't give much
information about any errors, however, the myth log has contains this:

Starting up as the master server.

Cannot open DSP '/dev/sound/dsp', dying.

Could not detect audio blocksize
Cannot open DSP '/dev/sound/dsp', exitingopen: Device or resource busy

I am a little confused as why aplay works and myth does not.  I have
worked on this last night and this morning and need a little help.  Anyone
have any more trouble shooting ideas or thoughts to help me get passed
this problem?  What permission should /dev/dsp have? (/dev/dsp is
root:root 555 and /dev/sound/dsp is root:audio 660)

Thanks
Chris
