"Unknown device" doesn't matter: I receive the same message with a card that works. /dev/dsp should be created when loading the snd_pcm_oss module. Perhaps it isn't being loaded? However, it looks as if your ICH6 soundcard may not be supported even in kernel 2.6.11: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxSoundALSA.html See the section on "Intel 8x0 compatible". -- PJR :-)
