How to start Audio Server on a B2600

[Ali Sunderji]

Does anyone have an idea how to start the Aserver and what audio device file on a B2600 Box should I be using. Thanks in advance

[Craig Rants]

Usually audio is started by /sbin/rc2.d/S770audio --> /sbin/init.d/audio
. Unless someone has change the S to an s, it should start automatically for you. Also make sure that /etc/rc.config.d/audio is set to 1. As far as your device file, you can make one, quite easy through sam, or through command line. I would contact the manufacturer of the audio equipment to get their recommendations.

Enjoy, Craig

Ali,

You should have Audio Hardware in the system as well the device driver in kernel.

You can use SAM to install audio driver.

Sam -> kernel configuration -> Drivers

and select audio and include it.

Once you reboot the system, the device driver will be effective. You can either start Aserver while booting through /etc/rc.config.d/audio by setting it 1 or you can start manually by running /opt/audio/bin/Aserver.

You can use /opt/audio/bin/send_sound to play files through command line.
