I used to be able to record with my microphone in the past under FreeBSD (might have been 6.2 or earlier), but since upgrading to 6.3, I am unable to record. As an example, when I try to use Audacity, I get the following in the console: [kirby ~]> audacity PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_RDWR PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -10000 PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_RDONLY PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -10000 PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_RDONLY PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -10000 This also affects Skype for me as well. I am able to still hear sounds from applications, such as XMMS. I also get a Device Busy error when I try to cat from /dev/dsp to anything. [kirby ~]> uname -a FreeBSD kirby.cyberbotx.com 6.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE #0: Wed Jan 23 16:14:04 EST 2008 root@kirby.cyberbotx.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CBXKERN i386 [kirby ~]> cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <nVidia nForce 4 MCP> at io 0xf800, 0xf600 irq 5 bufsz 16384 kld snd_ich (1p/1r/32v channels duplex default) As a side note, would trying the OSS 4 drivers have any difference in getting this to work? And if I need to provide any more information, let me know. Thanks, Naram Qashat
