I am getting the following error message;
9/9/2014 9:42 PM - Sound servo Error: Object is currently in use elsewhere.
What does it mean and what do I need to do to solve the problem.
With windows, sometimes different manufacturer drivers behave strangely.
Sadly there isn't much we can do to change the behavior of your hardware and respective drivers.
Try removing the speech recognition and using the sound servo.
2) If you still insist on using the SoundBoard (PC) control, you will need to upgrade your hardware. As we have identified earlier in this conversation, your audio driver and hardware is not able to allow two devices to use it at the same time. That is quite rare for audio hardware to not allow more than one device to use it at the same time. Your computer simply does not have that capability that majority of other computers have.
Hope that helps
I'm new here and I do read the ? for each control, look at the examples and watch the videos. If I don't understand something or can't get something to work, I post the question on this forum. I hope I'm using this resource correctly.
We are all here to help each other. That is one of about 20 things I love about ez robot. The only advice that I can give you about using the resource is to keep to one topic per thread and give it a descriptive name. It makes it much easier to search for others who might have the same issue later. Also, be sure to give credit to the person who answers your question. You will get a lot of help fairly quickly if you do this.
What is the type and model of the computer you are using? It may help us to dig and find out more about the computer to answer the question.
If you rebuilt your computer and you didn't install these drivers in the correct order, you might have an issue.
A good test would be for you to try to play 2 different streams of music outside of ARC. For example, play a youtube video and a mp3 or something else that uses the audio at the same time. See if this works or gives you an error. Your laptop should be able to do this, but if it isn't, we will know there is an issue with your computer build for sure, and it definitely isn't an ARC thing. I also assume that you have rebooted your computer because it is possible that something crashed and retained a lock on the device.
It's to bad discussions go off the front page so fast, my "Text to speech servo movement" didn't get a lot of response.
I have uploaded this to the cloud. Please download it and let me know if this fixes your problem. I dont know that it will. I just know that I was getting the errors and now I am not. If it does fix the issue, I would remove the servos that are not being used yet from the Auto Position tool until you need to add them and when you add them, assign them to specific digital ports.
I will try out what you've suggested and report back to you.I'll mark this as resolved for now.
Once again thanks!
