After building a new kernel with pcm, and doing "sh MAKEDEV snd0" in the /dev directory, there is still no sound from an old Gateway with some kind of PCI Ensoniq card. This is my first crack at setting up an X11 server and sound, so I may be missing something obvious. I've tried running xmms, "artsdsp xmms", with and without esd, zinf from a command prompt, and cdcontrol. This all has been built a couple days ago, with 4.8 a week old CD-ROM built via FTP, and KDE via FTP direct. The sound output driver selection in xmms shows nothing for the audio and mixer devices, and selecting the alternates (/dev/dsp & /dev/mixer) does not make it work. Also, if it bears on the issue, I couldn't get the nVidia driver to run - it failed without an error message in the log file (only info msgs) - so I used Vesa which causes some garbage to be put on the screen upon initialization, but then works thereafter. TIA.
