Thanks guys, ;-) Still got problems here. When I set "mount quiet", execute lilo and reboot, no "mixer" in /dev and "cdroms" is in /dev.
When I set "append=devfs=nomount quiet" in /etc/lilo.conf, after "lilo" and reboot, the "mixer" does appear in /dev, but this time "cdroms" disappeared. In this case, "KMenu->Multimedia->sound->audio mixer" still prompts "no permission to /dev/mixer" and "check if module compiled into kernel". I am sure I have permission to /dev/mixer. And the module IS compiled into kernel coz "lsmod" gives out: Module Size Used by snd-es1938 12176 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm 0 (autoclean) [snd-es1938] snd-timer 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-mixer 0 (autoclean) [snd-timer] snd 0 (autoclean) [snd-es1938 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer] soundcore 0 (autoclean) [snd] So when "mixer" exists in /dev, I have full permission to it, the module is in the kernel. The only thing I don't understand is why it's NOT used by anyone) /etc/modules.conf reads: pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start alias usb-interface usb-ohci alias eth0 eepro100 alias sound-slot-0 snd-es1938 Anything wrong here? >From: Frans Ketelaars <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [newbie] Acer 342T soundcard problem. >Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 19:33:23 +0100 > >On 28 Feb 2002 06:14:04 -0800 >"Douglas A.
