method 1) is recommended over the use of OSS-emulation drivers if you want to use ALSA's PCM plugin layer. The second way is to wrap the application in the libaoss library provided in this package the wrapper causes the application to access native ALSA device files such as /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c instead of OSS device files.
The first way is to load the special ALSA drivers that emulate the OSS kernel interface these allow the application to open /dev/dsp0 and other OSS device files. There are two ways of getting an application to work with ALSA if the application was written for OSS. OSS is the free version of the Open Sound System (). ALSA is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (). Your Ubuntu system is using ALSA for sound mixing. Every once in a while, despite the sound device not being used at all by any Linux program (or so you think), you get the following error message when starting a Windows 2000/XP VM on VMWare:įailed to open sound device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy Virtual device sound will start disconnected. When you start a Windows 2000/XP VM on VMWare, the sound works there too - most of the time. The sound on your Ubuntu system works perfectly. Note: to run step #2 successfully you will need apt's Universal (Community maintained) repository enabled.Įcho 'LD_PRELOAD=libaoss.so exec /usr/bin/vmware.orig > /usr/bin/vmware Concise practical summary / steps for the impatient (tested on VMware version 5.5.3 build-34685):
