Subject: [gentoo-user] /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2012 16:46:08 +0100 [thread overview]

Hi there!
I want to play Quake3. games-fps/quake3 works, but somehow extra stuff
(maps, models) I downloaded and put into /opt/quake3/baseq3 is not being
used. I think I had such problems before, so I used to run
games-fps/quake3-bin instead. I have no sound.
There are error messages:
/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
Could not open /dev/dsp
This is true, even as root I cannot echo something to this device. lsof
and fuser return nothing, so I wonder what is using the device.
I had sound problems with Quake3 in the past, and found a wrapper script
quake3-sdl-sound [*], that worked. But now it doesn't.
Any ideas? There will be a big match going on with my little sister this
evening, so you see this is a really really important issue!
