My dmix setting is 48000 samples/sec also.
 
I changed it to 44100 (with csd sr=44100 and ALSA audio = -odac), but still got the same error message - even after rebooting.
 
I also tried your third option - specifying -odac:plughw. Same result.

Hi,

I had the same problem on Ubuntu.

In the file  /urs/share/alsa/alsa.conf my dmix setting is 48000 samples/sec.

So i have to use the following settings to avoid the errors you have:

dmix set to 48000, csd sr =48000, alsa audio output is  -odac
or
dmix set to 44100, csd sr =44100, alsa audio output is  -odac
or
dmix set to 48000, csd sr =44100, alsa audio output is  -odac:plughw


This is on Ubuntu, hope this help.

Cheers,
René

what happens if you try ksmps=64 and -b 256?

I've got the following CsOptions in a .csd:

-odac -+rtaudio=alsa -+rtmidi=alsa -M hw:1,0 -m0d --expression-opt -b128 -B2048 -+raw_controller_mode=1

I'm running Sugar-on-a-Stick (Fedora/Linux). *On certain hardware only* (particularly an Intel Classmate PC, but others as well) I get the following error message in my log (crash):

ALSA: opened MIDI input device 'hw:1,0

orch now loaded

audio buffered in 128 sample-frame blocks

ALSA: -b 128 not allowed on this device; use 204 instead

*** Error setting period time for real-time audio

Failed to initialize real time audio output



All works fine on most systems. My SR = 44100 (stereo); Ksmps = 100. If I change to SR = 48000 or SR = 32000, no problem. (BTW, changing to -b 204 doesn't work either; if I change to the recommended -b value, *at the third or fourth recommendation* [each time it recommends a new value], it works.

Any idea what is happening?
