[Freeswitch-users] Error loading portaudio module

[Michael Collins]

Jason,

If I understand correctly software other than PA can lock up the sound
card so that PA doesn't "see" it. That might explain why PA reports
number of devices = 0. Could you check to see if possibly something
else has control of your sound card, perhaps ALSA? Turn off anything
that might use the sound card and then restart FS to see if PA can
then detect your device.
