well… no. the module is loaded. if it isnt loaded, it says /dev/dsp not found, instead of busy. other ideas? EDIT: your edit says it. i indeed use pulseaudio, which used to be a cause of trouble. i'll look into that.

That problem should be fixed by inserting snd-pcm-oss module before using siggen: # modprobe snd-pcm-oss If you want to avoid doing this each time you want to use siggen, have a look here to make the module automatically load each boot: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_modules#Automatic_module_handling EDIT: I have just noticed that your problem must be other (the device /dev/dsp is present, but in your case it is busy). I do not know why that happens, on my system it works perfect. Do you have pulseaudio installed? (I have not). Maybe you could try opening a post in the forum.

I still have this problem: $ sgen_ sin 1000 [sgen_] Device or resource busy : /dev/dsp any hints how to resolve this?

Fixed!

Got this Error: ==> Building and installing package ==> ERROR: install should not be an array

i just upgraded it, so i did not see the post_install-message. sorry. it now complains about the device /dev/dsp being busy, but lsof fails to show any processes using it. sorry for the noise…

@fordprefect: During the first install, pacman should output this message: __________________________________________________ Warning: sgen has been renamed to sgen_, because it conflicts with Mono Xml Serializer Generator Tool. Warning: if binaries in this package fail, complaining they cannot find /dev/dsp, you can try loading snd-pcm-oss module as follows (with root privileges): # modprobe snd-pcm-oss __________________________________________________ So try following the instructions and insert snd-pcm-oss package, /dev/dsp should appear.

@doragasu: i am having some troubles with using this package on an up-to-date arch system. there is neither a /dev/dsp nor a /dev/mixer device, so siggen seems unusable to me atm. am i missing something, is this a known error?

OK, sgen has been renamed to sgen_, and it looks like nothing breaks. Not an elegant fix, I suppose, but should work now.

doragasu commented on 2015-11-01 18:05 (UTC)

Thanks for the report! I'll try to workaround the problem by renaming sgen. I hope it does not cause other side-effects (maybe sgen is called by other siggen binary).
