I get an error message when starting F8 that says: "Sound server fatal error: CPU overload, aborting|". Even with that error message, I have been able to start QJackctl in the past, but no longer. It now says: The playback device: hw:0 is already in use. Please stop the application using it and start Jack again.

This just started happening and it only happens when accessing Fedora 8 from the KDE desktop. If I go in through Gnome, everything is fine.

Any ideas? How would I go about finding out what is using the hw:0 device?

Thanks,

Try turning off full duplex in the sound preferences

Also can you post the output from

lspci ¦ grep audio

Neil,

Thanks for the reply. Turning off the full duplex in the sound preferences seemed to work.

Here is the output from the lspci | grep audio:

Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 08)

Even though turning off the full duplex seems to work, let me know if you think of anything else.
