Someone just donated an iPAQ H3835 to my work, so I have of course
installed PDa on it. It runs fine and opens up patches and
everything, but the only sound I get is a little click when Pd
starts. I have tried killed gpe-soundserver, is there a better way
to disable it?
I am running Familiar 0.8.2 with GPE. If there is a better version,
or should I use Qt over GPE, I can easily switch.
I am using a ~/.pdrc file with this in it:
-noadc -verbose
When I run Pd, I get:
idmi@h3600:~$ pd reading startup file: /home/idmi/.pdrc Pd version 0.37.4 compiled 16:08:53 Jul 19 2005 port 5400 Waiting for connection request...

Hi Hans,
It seems that some other program is still using the soundcard. I don't know how to disable the gpe-soundserver on familiar. The iPaq that I have is very old and familiar does not fit, so I have a costum distribution (without gpe-soundserver) installed.
The other one is a Zaurus with pdaXrom (no gpe-soundserver either).
Maybe someone running a similar system has a clue ? I think that this should be settable somewhere with the configuration program of gpe. If you figure it out, let me know, so I can add it to the FAQ.
