    • Audio device busy despite no other application actively using audio?

      I have recently begun using Strawberry player after switching to Mint Linux from Windows 10, and am still working out some kinks in the settings of my applications, though Strawberry has been a largely seamless experience thus far. I was using the MOTU M2 soundcard without issue (mainly for music production) but have set up my Schiit Modi/Magni DAC and Headphone Amp stack and have run into a wall where the audio device is busy despite no application currently using audio. I had been watching a YouTube video before this, but that isn't playing, and the particular tab has been closed, though my browser is still open. I understand my configuration is probably for exclusive use of the sound card, but my prior experience was that audio had to be actively playing to interfere with exclusive access to the sound card. If anyone has experience with issues like this I would greatly appreciate any advice.
