After installing pocketsphinx , when I tried to run the pocketsphinx_continuous program then I got this error..
_oss.c(103): Failed to open audio device(/dev/dsp): No such file or directory FATAL_ERROR: "continuous.c", line 242: Failed top open audio device
How to solve this problem?
Install the following from the terminal :
sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade;
sudo apt-get install pavucontrol linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils lightdm ubuntu-desktop linux-image-`uname -r` libasound2;
sudo apt-get -y --reinstall install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils lightdm ubuntu-desktop linux-image-`uname -r` libasound2;
killall pulseaudio;
rm -r ~/.pulse*;
ubuntu-support-status;
sudo usermod -aG `cat /etc/group | grep -e '^pulse:' -e '^audio:' -e '^pulse-access:' -e '^pulse-rt:' -e '^video:' | awk -F: '{print $1}' | tr '\n' ',' | sed 's:,$::g'` `whoami`
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev
sudo apt-get install osspd
Might take a while, but it worked perfectly for me.
You have an issue with pocketsphinx installation
To make easy access to pocketsphinx, just install pocketsphinx from repository, more over, recently pocketsphinx has been landed in Ubuntu repository.
If you compile pocketsphinx from sources, the installation process for pocketsphinx is not an issue if you understand the complexity of audio subsystems in Linux. The audio subsystem is complex unfortunately, but once you get it things will be easier. Historically, audio subsystem is pretty fragmented. It includes the following major frameworks:
Old Unix-like DSP framework – everything is handled by the kernel-space driver. Applications interact with /dev/dsp device to produce and record audio ALSA – newer audio subsystem, partially in kernel but also has userspace library libasound. ALSA also provides DSP compatibliity layer through snd_pcm_oss driver which creates /dev/dsp device and emulates audio Pulseaudio – even newer system which works on the top of libasound ALSA library but provides a sound server to centralize all the processing. To communicate with the library it also provides libpulse library which must be used by applications to record sound Jack – another sound server, also works on the top of ALSA, provides anoher library libjack. Similar to Pulseaudio there are others not very popular frameworks, but sphinxbase doesn’t support them. Example are ESD (old GNOME sound server), ARTS (old KDE sound server), Portaudio (portable library usable across Windows, Linux and Mac). The recommended audio framework on Ubuntu is pulseaudio.
Sphinxbase and pocketsphinx support all the frameworks and automatically selects the one you need in compile time. The highest priority is in pulseaudio framework. Before you install sphinxbase you need to decide which framework to use. You need to setup the development part of the corresponding framework after that.
For example, it’s recommended to install libpulse-dev package to provide access to pulseaudio and after that sphinxbase will automatically work with Pulseaudio. Once you work with pulseaudio you do not need other frameworks. On embedded device try to configure alsa.
For the future, you can quickly get the answer on this and other issues by reading Pocketsphinx FAQ
The following worked for me perfectly:
sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get install pavucontrol linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
sudo apt-get install libsound2
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev
sudo apt-get install osspd
