<![CDATA[Error: Device is being used by another application.]]>Hi, Kubuntu user here and new to Strawberry player and love that it let's me redirect its output to my DAC.

However, I get this error message frequently when selecting a tune from the play list:

Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application.

Even if you kill strawberry processes (strawberry tagreader) in system monitor it does nothing and I have to log out / in and start fresh.

What process should I be killing, if any? Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, Same as in output to an external DAC? If so can I ask what external DAC you are using ?
