I'm also a newbie and have a similar problem to that described below, I'm now upgraded to Debian 3.0r1 on an Acer 500T laptop.
I use the opl3sa module with the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernal image with no problems i.e. all my group/rights volume settings seem ok. When I try to load the module in 2.4.20 with modconf I get the same message as the poster below. "/dev/dsp: No such device" any suggestions. I'd like to use 2.4.20 bacause on my 233MHz machine it is significantly faster. Thanks, Christof Dr.-Ing.

My machine is a NEC Direction SPT 200. Following advice from various lists I have compiled the following as modules: isa-pnp sound oss adlib opl3sa2 mpu401 mss ym3812 if I modprobe opl3sa2, the following modules seem to load without visible error: opl3sa2 ad1848 mpu401 sound isa-pnp However when I try to start any sound application, I get a "/dev/dsp: No such device" error message. The above modules do not appear to be using any ioports or interrupts according to /proc. dmesg says that isapnp, ad1848 and opl3sa2 did not find any plug and play devices. It seems to me that I am not actually successfully loading the modules even though they appear when I lsmod. I am new to 2.4 kernels, but I was under the impression that the isapnp module would take care of the ioports and interrupts. Any suggestions?
