Hi, I've found that /bin/esdplay is reporting "/dev/dsp: Device or recource busy" and after repeatedly trying, if it can't use the resource, esd bottoms out. So I removed the esdplay call in /etc/rc.sound (line 68)
#if [ -x /bin/esdplay ]; then # /bin/esdplay /etc/silent.wav & #fi Now esd stays loaded everytime and sound works. Why is "/bin/esdplay /etc/silent.wav &" included in rc.sound? Thanks. Chris.
