Anyone been able to use Skype with Alsa apps? When I try to start
Jack-Rack with Skype running Jack-Rack comes back with an error:
===
Could not open ALSA sequencer, aborting
No such file or directory
Make sure you have configure ALSA properly and that
/proc/asound/seq/clients exists and contains relevant devices.

Qjackctl also comes back with an error that it can't open ALSA sequencer
as a client.
I traced it down to Skype. When I tried: alsasound stop (during or after
stopping Skype,) I received:
---- [root@email-addr-hidden bfuller]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop Shutting down sound driverERROR: Module snd_ice1712 is in use ERROR: Module snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx is in use by snd_ice1712 ERROR: Module snd_ak4xxx_adda is in use by snd_ice1712,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx ERROR: Module snd_cs8427 is in use by snd_ice1712 ERROR: Module snd_ac97_codec is in use by snd_ice1712 ERROR: Module snd_mixer_oss is in use ERROR: Module snd_pcm is in use by snd_ice1712,snd_ac97_codec ERROR: Module snd_timer is in use by snd_pcm ERROR: Module snd_i2c is in use by snd_ice1712,snd_cs8427 ERROR: Module snd_mpu401_uart is in use by snd_ice1712 ERROR: Module snd_rawmidi is in use by snd_mpu401_uart ERROR: Module snd_seq_device is in use by snd_rawmidi ERROR: Module snd is in use by snd_ice1712,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx,snd_ak4xxx_adda,snd_cs8427,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_i2c,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device [ OK ] ---- Even after I quit Skype, Qjackctl won't start at all. One time, when I found the Skype bkg process, I killed it and it made everything work. But, I could only find it once! Strange. In the Hand/Headsets settings (options) the "Audio devices" are devices on my PC: /dev/dsp. But the sequencer is /dev/snd/seq. Anyway, Skype has been handy for me for remote session directing (better than a phone, and not all studios have ISDN.) If I could get it to work on Linux (rather than windows) I would be much happier. brad -- Brad Fuller (408) 799-6124 ** Sonaural Audio Studios ** (408) 799-6123 West San Jose (408) 799-6124 Cambrian ________________________________ Hear us online: www.Sonaural.comReceived on Tue Apr 5 08:15:05 2005
