What is: "Error: Sound record device open failed!"

[David77]

When invoking VRS software, I get two messages:

1. "VRS Recording System Run".

2. The message in the topic title.

 

I could not find anything about this message (or any(!) error

list with explanation) in the documentation.

Is there a place where to find an error list with explanations?

 

My computer has the Creative Labs' DI5631 modem and the Creative Labs Ensoniq

Sound Blaster AudioPCI.

 

The problem exists even when I connect the phone line through an adapter directly to the sound card's mic input.

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks in advance,

David

The problem was partially resolved.

When I plugged the direct interface device, connecting the phone line to the sound card's mic input, I was not aware at first that I have to manually also tell the VRS to use the my sound card (under the chanel's setting). After I did that, sensing and recording are just fine.

 

The problem that still remains is why doesn't it want to work with the modem (and I made sure that the Record Device selected is 'Modem #1 Line Record. It is imported for me since I planned using it for the 2nd phone line.

 

Any suggestion is welcome.

Hi David,

 

I am glad you solved the first problem.

Have you tried reinstalling the modem and its drivers?

 

Does it work with any other software?

 

I am sorry for delay in this message.

 

If you wish to investigate this further please use the form on VRS' page.
