I think you need to configure your kernel to create the dsp related interfaces since they're deprecated. I thinks it's one of these guys, but I don't have the kernel config menu or docs handy. CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y My udev rules have this: $ grep dsp /etc/udev/rules.d/* 25-lfs.rules:KERNEL=="adsp*", GROUP="audio" 25-lfs.rules:KERNEL=="dsp*", GROUP="audio" > and the sound devices seem to be here? > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ file /dev/snd/* > /dev/snd/controlC0: character special (116/0) > /dev/snd/controlC1: character special (116/32) > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c: character special (116/24) > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: character special (116/16) > /dev/snd/pcmC0D1c: character special (116/25) > /dev/snd/pcmC1D0c: character special (116/56) > /dev/snd/pcmC1D1c: character special (116/57) > /dev/snd/timer: character special (116/33) These are the devices created for standard ALSA. Unfortunately, some software still searches for the deprecated /dev/dsp as the sound device. Look in the kernel config sound section. It's described in there somewhere. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
