TRANSCRIBER - Could not gain access to /dev/sound/dsp
by jeroni from LinuxQuestions.org on (#555RY)
Hello.
I am still with problems in transcriber using latest version ubuntu 20.04 lts.
I checked several forums all I tried doesn t work. Also, I am a trollmatic so you got to really explain things otherwise i won t understand.
I can see transcriber has a problem because the icon image is not displayed properly in the left size bar as it should.
I used transcriber previously in other ubuntu version and it ran perfectly well.
Now, the only think that helps is "padsp transcriber" but after the program blocks and I have to kill it.
The original file was wma, i used "audacity" to convert into ogg and when opening file:
Could not gain access to /dev/sound/dsp for writing.Could not gain access to /dev/sound/dsp for writing.
Could not gain access to /dev/sound/dsp for writing.Could not gain access to /dev/sound/dsp for writing.
while executing
"player play -start [expr int($begin*$rate)] -end [expr int($end*$rate)]"
(procedure "PlayRange" line 56)
invoked from within
"PlayRange $pos $end $script"
(procedure "Play" line 64)
invoked from within
"Play"
(procedure "PlayOrPause" line 10)
invoked from within
"PlayOrPause"
invoked from within
".cmd.play invoke"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0[list $w invoke]"
(procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 22)
invoked from within
"tk::ButtonUp .cmd.play"
(command bound to event)
PLEASE, HELP!
