audio error

My sound card is detected as Sound Blaster, but I have a Crystal CSC-4236.
When I try to use it with either MediaPlayer or Mixer, I get the error message: Could not connect to audio driver. Is there a way, or command to make the system connect to the audio driver.
Your help would be much appreciated.

What the error probably means is that a program can’t
open the audio device. See if it is visible in /dev.
If it is, there might be a conflict with another
process already having it open. It is also possible
that there is a hardware problem, such as an interrupt
conflict.

Mostly inteligent guessing here.

Is this a QNX4 or QNX RtP question?
Are you using “Audio” or “deva-sb”?

The Crystal CS463x series is (by default) a WSS-compatible
card (Windows Sound System) There is a driver for it in QNX4
but not in QNX RtP, at this time.

p.s. The device in /dev that you would be looking for is
either /dev/dsp (Audio) or /dev/snd/* (deva-*)
