asterisk users - Mar 2004 - sound issue

Hi all, I'm new to asterisk. I have it installed and 1 x100p card. I'm
trying to use kphone to connect out. But, when I start * it gives me
sound card busy error. I've checked ps aux and nothing seems to have the
sound card. Any ideas? Does starting asterisk automatically take the
sound card? Also, can you use the phone connected into the XFO card w/
asterisk or do you need an XFS card or soft/hard phone? Sorry for the
questions, but I can't seem to find any answers on the wiki etc. 

                                         Thanks in Advance. Vlok

Hey everyone,

I know this is a problem with mpg123, but it just started happening and 
I have no idea why. I haven't changed any of the audio format settings 
yet. Before tonight, I was able to call, listen to the queues, hear the 
music on hold, no problems. I added a new context to a dial plan, 
reloaded and now I get this error.

Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Broken pipe

Then asterisk just crashes. I have so far tried to make clean && make
&&
make install, that didn't work. Replaced my own configuration files with 
the samples. Still I get the same error. I also noticed that i had a lot 
of processes of mpg123 running.

[root@voip-1 asterisk]# pgrep mpg123
2354   2372   2390   2462   2763   2785   2805   2823   2843   2862   
2883   2905   2927
2949   2966   2986   3005   8608   8656   9180   9708


I can't seem to get rid of them either. I even restarted the whole 
server, which asterisk is configured to auto start and they are back. 
Currently I am running asterisk 1.2.4. The only other thing that I 
changed today was add odbc support for mssql. But I don't see any 
correlation there. Yes, I am getting a db error, but that is because the 
server isn't ready to accept asterisk yet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hey Rich and everyone.

I tried what you suggested, and it didn't work. I even recomplied 
everything, moved all of my configuration files out and remade the 
samples, so as far as I can tell everything is back to day 1. However, 
it is still pulling in the database information. This is really the only 
thing I could think of that is causing any problems. Here is a list from 
the CLI of errors, warnings, etc.

I'm not to familar with removing src files after I compile them (still a 
little new to unix), but is there a way I can remove the files for 
unixODBC and freeTDS? Otherwise, I'm lost as to what could be causing 
the problem.

Thanks,
Kevin
