I have this problem too. I put these lines in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local
ln -s /dev/sound/audio /dev/audio ln -s /dev/sound/dsp /dev/dsp ln -s /dev/sound/dspW /dev/dspW ln -s /dev/sound/mixer /dev/mixer ln -s /dev/sound/sequencer /dev/sequencer ln -s /dev/sound/sequencer2 /dev/sequencer2 Mandrake 8.1 does this also btw. I have no idea why. But putting these lines in the rc.local fixes it temporarely. /MattB -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Salane King Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 6:47 AM To: Cooker Subject: [Cooker] dev sound links are not created upon bootup Every time I have to reboot the /dev/dsp mixer audio etc are missing.
