I always get sound back by reformating the storage and doing a reinstall of the game. The sound then works, but then of course if I exit out of Garnet and and then run Garnet again the sound is gone. I have uninstalled ane reinstalled Garnet and that doesn't help. Any suggestions? And does anyone else have this type of problem?

Hi Pushwall, on my n810 the VM crashes everytime it will produce a sound.

EDIT:
I have reported it as http://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3219

Thanks for your post about DSP. For some reason the kill command you show doesn't seem to work for me. What I found does work is this command:
dsp_dld --enable-restart

So I set up that command to run as root using Personal Menu. I use it whenever something in Garnet VM whacks the sound and this seems to get the sound running fine again.

Maybe you used wrong quotes? For such command output substitution to work you really need backqotes ``. Or there is alternative syntax for same thing:

Code:

kill $(pidof dsp_dld)

Or maybe in your case dsp_dld is not running at all so there is nothing to kill? Does

Code:

pidof dsp_dld

print some number?

I tried it again making sure I used backquotes, but it comes back:
sh: bad pid ' `pidof'
sh: bad pid ' `dsp_dld`'

So I tried: kill $(pidof dsp_dld). That command ran with no output. I tested it with GVM by whacking the sound system, exiting out of GVM, running the kill command, and then running GVM and trying to rerun the program that whacked the sound. GVM hangs and I finally have to exit out when I get the box that says GVM is not responding. I've tried this several times and it's the same every time.

Yes it does display a process id number.

Maybe quoting is still not right but it doesn't matter, your way is better. In fact one can just run dsp_dld with no parameter and it restarts the copy that is already running.

This is OK, it worked.

GVM hangs like this from time to time for me too even if I don't mess with dsp_dld. Again full device reboot helps.

Thanks, that is good to know and it's an easy short command too.

Thanks for that useful bit of info too.

Re: Access Releases Garnet VM Beta 2

I'm having an install problem with Garnet 2.
My N810 is running: OS2008
Version: 1.2007.42-19

When I try to install Garnet 2 I get this error:
"Unable to install Garnet-VM. Some application packages required for the installation are missing"

When I search further, they are:
Hildon-fm1(>=1.14)
Hildon-libs0(>=0.14.11.1)
Libdbus-1-2(>=.61)

Am I having a software version problem?

Thank you.

Re: Access Releases Garnet VM Beta 2

Hawkeye Mole: I have the same problem (with an N810 running OS2008). I've tried to report it to Access, but there's no bug reporter on the Garnet VM page. I've tried to get the bug across via their "Feedback" page, but I'm not sure how effective that'll be.

I really miss being able to read DRM'd e-books by running Mobipocket with the Garnet VM.

Anyone know what we could do to solve the missing packages problem? I've tried using the application manager to search for installable applications, and never found something resembling the libs I'm "missing."

Maybe upgrade your OS 2.2007.51-3 will solve your problem?

1.2007? are you sure?

Re: Access Releases Garnet VM Beta 2

bun: updating my OS did the trick. Thanks for the suggestion!
