I can only suggest you look carefully at /dev/dsp - it should i think be a link to /dev/sound/dsp.
Then look at the permissions on /dev/sound/dsp - they should be: crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Jan 1 1970 /dev/sound/dsp and the user trying to run the errant program should be in the audio group. (and re-logged in if you add them as a result of this message, ie adding a user to a group does not take effect until they log in again. Unfortunately this can mean logging oput of X and back in again) You can check if user is in the audio group with: id user On Tue, 16 Aug 2005 20:09:15 -0300 Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales wrote: > Thanks for the attention.
