oh yeah, its wise to issue this command after loading the modules
chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/sequencer /dev/mixer /dev/midi
i do this every time i load the modules (i do this by hand because of the quirkiness of mandrake! although im sure i could write it into my startup script with no problems)... one note if you're running mandrake is that ./snddevices isnt terribly helpful on a devfs distro - i've had variable results after running ./snddevices, but its fine at the moment without...

I ran the snddevices script. Here`s what 'alsamixer' says:
.
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
How do I check permissions on the /dev/dsp?
Also I got my XMMS mp3 player working via changing the output to OSS driver. But now it plays out of my laptop`s sound card, not the Quattro.
thanks, todd

So I did everything up to and including the modprobe commands and all is good to go. Now it tells me upon start up that no device exists in /dev/dsp
I am using a m-aduio quattro and it is turned on.

Hmmm. Did you run the 'snddevices' script in the alsa-driver source after you built it? Also, check the permissions on the /dev/dsp* devices. Does 'alsamixer' work correctly?
Ive only done this with the Delta44, never used the USB interface(s) yet.
