Hi! I had problems with devfs for 2.3.99 for sound. In old /dev there is dsp owned by root.audio to allow group audio make sounds. In new kernel there is virtual /dev/sound created on the fly (during boot) - I suppose - and the /dev/sound/* is owned by root.root. So I offer to add to /etc/rc/d/rc.sysinit lines for the backward compatibility: ========================================== if [ -d /dev/sound ]; then chown root.audio /dev/sound/* chmod g+rw /dev/sound/* fi =========================================== or something like that (more narrow - like rights). Michal PS: The other solution is to do it anyhow different, but I don't know that. :-) Does anybody know the other way(s)???
