Hi John,
you wrote:
If you are testing only with Firefox, you do need to edit the /etc/firefox/firefoxrc file:
# which /dev/dsp wrapper to use ICEWEASEL_DSP="esddsp" #ICEWEASEL_DSP="padsp" Dreck! That thing said "none".
Using "esddsp", I got the same lock-ups and errors:
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1401:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Zeitüberschreitung
But with "padsp", it works! Yay!
The /etc/asound.conf file (as described on the ubuntu wiki page) is required, though.
Thank you!
Kind Regards, Stefan
