I did this on my sarge system (which also didn't have a /dev/dsp) and one appeared. I could cat from it, and cat /dev/urandom to it and get noise. There are probably better things to cat to it. Unfortunately, after I did this, none of my audio programs worked. Couldn't get sound out of kaffeine, xmms, konqueror.... Is this a matter of /dev/dsp disabling alsa or something? When I took the line out of /etc/modprobe.conf, making it empty again, and rebooted (just in case), /dev/dsp vanished, and sould still didn't come back. I had a mute system. It took powering it down to restore normal sound, without /dev/dsp. This is probably a bug somewhere, that the sound card isn't being initialised properly. Can anyone tell me how to get audio input without disbling the rest of the sound system? That's what I thought I needed /dev/dsp for. I need to rip cassette tapes of church services to post on the church web site. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
