When I execute ./julian -input mic -C julian.jconf it results in this:

include config: julian.jconf
###### check configurations
###### initialize input device
adin_mic_standby: device=/dev/dsp
adin_mic_standby: open device: Device or resource busy
Error: failed to ready input device
Terminated

If I run lspci -vvv, the audio device info is this:

Any workaround?.

Hi martinrame,

Can you record anything with arecord or audacity?

Make sure there are no other applications using your microphone or speakers (e.g. browser, Skype, ...). and try Julian again.

Have you tried disabling pulsaudio and then running Julian?

Audacity works perfectly.

No, nothing is open when I try to use julius.

How can I disable it?.

gnome-system-monitor & then kill the process.

I removed pulseaudio with "sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio" and now julius works!.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Leonardo,

Removing Pulseaudio might be a bit drastic (other programs in your distro might expect it...), you might try using a newer version of Julius. 

Note that in Julius version 4 and above, there is no separate Julian version (grammar based recognition)  of Julius... i.e. you use the command line executable "julius" (or something similar) to run your garmmar-based recognition.
