All,

I folllow the instruction to install julian.  Untar and then run: 

./julian -input mic -C julian.jconf

I get this below:

include config: julian.jconf
###### check configurations
###### initialize input device
adin_mic_standby: device=/dev/dsp
adin_mic_standby: open device: No such file or directory
Error: failed to ready input device
Terminated
[arthur@platypus julius-3.5.2-quickstart-linux]$

Now I got to the /dev/ directory, but as it says dsp doesn't exist.  I'm not too sure where to begin to get the dsp there.

Does anyone know how to load the dsp into linux?  I thought that I had a full installation.

I'm using VMware. 

> Can you record anything with arecord or audacity?

Audacity isn't recognized and arecord doesn't seem to work.

Have you tried running something like pulseaudio to manage your audio devices? I find it very helpful in positively selecting between alternate inputs. Calls to arecord -D pulse then select the device that I have selected in pulseaudio, and "padsp julius -input mic ..." puts julius in a wrapper that works well (at least in a non-vmware environment).

The pulseaudio GUI is very helpful in that it shows whether your device is up and running, even provides meters to help adjust the levels.

I managed to get this running on Ubuntu using pulseaudio by prefixing the command with "padsp"

padsp julius -iput mic -C julian.conf
