understanding Aserver setup

[N. Bauck]

Attempting to setup the audio for the internal CD-ROM. Users would like to listen to CD's while working.

h/w B2600 OS HP-UX 11.00
Found bundle B6865AAA installed. CD-ROM is claimed in ioscan.

Created the audio.sec file for the local hostname and all users accessed. The audio feature will only be used on the local w/s.

When starting Aserver, return message is "Failed to open /dev/audioIL - Aserver exiting". The dev file referenced does not exist.

So what have I not done to get the Aserver to run?
Or is the Aserver needed for local use of the audio/CD-ROM?

Thanks.
Nancy.

Hi Nancy,

I would check couple of things.

1. Check if audio is listed in your ioscan

ioscan -f |grep -i audio

2. Make sure you have audio driver enabled.

lsdev |grep audio

If you don't find it then you will need to add hte driver. Either add 'audio' to your system file and generate new kernel (needs reboot) or use SAM to add 'audio' driver into kernel.

Completed item 2 and the audio driver is now listed for lsdev.

Item 1 is not showing any audio in ioscan after reboot.

Thanks.
Nancy.
