ALSA lib pcm.c:8594:(snd_pcm_set_params) Access type not available for PLAYBACK: Invalid argument #214

Hi , Thanks a lot for this powerful tool , is great and I'm looking forward doing so much tunes with it so I can't wait to use it. I just have a couple of issues: First off my specs are:

Kali linux (Debian Buster)
Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21)
Milkytracker v1 .02.00 (The one available on github downloaded today)

When I first initiate milkytracker it doesnt detect nor ALSA Drivers nor JACK drivers so I have to go with SDLaudio: Using audio driver: pulseaudio (which as far as I know is not the bestone, its been said that ALSA handles processes more efficiently)

So if I try to switch to ALSA I get this message: ALSA lib pcm.c:8594:(snd_pcm_set_params) Access type not available for PLAYBACK: Invalid argument

Then my only option is working with pulseaudio but when I use this the program crashes sometimes unexpectedly crashing the whole computer (mainly when I use milkytracker along other stuff which requires audio access such as (youtube).

I'm not able to troubleshoot this lastone issue but, I would like to be able to use ALSA which I believe it may solve the problem. Do you have any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi there,

Have you tried other samplerates (Mixer Resolution in the audio options) and buffer sizes when trying ALSA?

Are you able to get basic ALSA audio playback using aplay on the command line? When using ALSA are you sure PulseAudio hasn't hogged the ALSA device? You can use pulseaudio --kill to ensure it's not running.
