[ILUG-Cochin.org] No sound in HP compaq nx6125 Arch Linux 64 Bit KDE

[Sreenadh H]

Hello Sebin,

Install lsof

pacman -S lsof

Run the command
lsof | grep /dev/dsp (send the output)

Kill the process which is currently accessing the sound card
(/dev/dsp) and play a music
file either in vlc or in amarok

Open terminal and run the command

killall <process_name>

eg: killall artsd

or Click KMenu > System > KSysGuard

Find the process (eg: artsd ) and kill it


Regards,
Sreenadh
