Problem:
If you get an error in terminal saying “Unable to open mixer /dev/mixer” or “Could not gain access to /dev/sound/dsp for writing.”. You can resolve this problem by installing “libsnack2-alsa” package. If you are trying to install “libsnack2-alsa” package “wavesurfer” is going to uninstall, if wavesurfer is already installed.
You will get this message:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | The following packages will be REMOVED: libsnack2 wavesurfer The following NEW packages will be installed: libsnack2-alsa |
Error:
1 2 3 4 5 | Unable to open mixer /dev/mixer OR Could not gain access to /dev/sound/dsp for writing. |
Solution:
1 2 3 | $ sudo apt-get install libsnack2-alsa |
I hope this will help you, If you got another solution please do write in comment. I love to hear that.
