Hi Bob,

Thank for your anwser. Well, I tried this on a brand new 20" alu imac and a minimac (about two years old) both with the same results. Sometimes I even got a crash of my jre which I did not mention in my opening thread because I cannot reproduce it anymore. Now I get always the mentioned exception. The audio inputs I have tried are the system line-in and a litte USB stick which registers as "C -Media USB headphone set".

I simple cannot believe that there is hardware limitation causing the problem. Are the Apple's Mac not known for their Audio/Video capabilities and now it should be a problem to open two audio line at the same time??

Has anybody else already tired this. Since same code runs perfectly on XP/Linux the code seems to be clean.

regards

Stedan

Hi Stefan

Java Sound leverages the underlying audio facilities and so absolute cross platform portability cannot be guaranteed. Just because a Java Sound program works on Linux doesn't guarantee that it will work on any other platform and newby Java Sound programmers are often caught out by hardware and software incompatibilities.

I think you've bumped into a hardware limitation of your particular computer, but you haven't mentioned which particular Apple computer you're trying to use, nor which input devices you're opening so it's hard to say for certain.

I'll also mention that there's a specific emailing list for Java Sound developers. It's email@hidden

Dear all,

I am trying to open two differernt audio lines simultaneously. Unfortunately the runtime throws this exception:

javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException: Another capture device is already open
at com.sun.media.sound.SimpleInputDevice.nOpen(Native Method)
at com .sun.media.sound.SimpleInputDevice.implOpen(SimpleInputDevice.java: 275)

at com.sun.media.sound.AbstractDataLine.open(AbstractDataLine.java:139)
at com.fasttvr.audio.CaptureTool $CaptureThread.run(CaptureTool.java:240)


Both audio lines I have tried can be opened successfully when the other one has been closed before. It is even possible to open a single line more that one time. But it is not possible to open the two lines simultaneously. Why not? Same code is running under XP/ Linux without any problem!

I have been trying the OS X 10.5 default (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237) and the 1.6 developer preview (build 1.6.0_04-b12-45-optimized) both are faulty.

I highly appreciate any comment on this.

regards
