[newbie] /dev/dsp gone??

2005-01-29 Thread Alan Ianson
I am running the 10.2b1 and after rebooting I have no sound, although sound 
was working fine on the first boot up. I don't see any /dev/dsp for some 
reason. How do I recreate that file, or what do I need to do to get sound 
back?

Better asked on the cooker list. You shouldn't be usin cooker 
without also monitoring the cooker ML, changelog, and bugzilla as 
a minimum.  Anyhow,

   IME, a week or so ago I needed to install 'aumix' and run it to 
reset the sliders from -0-. Previously all that was needed was to 
watch with cooker updates was that Kmix didn't mute.  IIRC, a 
kernel or KDE update did me in.

   OTOH, a search of the 'expert' archive might be useful. A 
recent discussion, USB and Sound problems on 10.1 not on 10.0 
revealed that Theo (no relative of mine) got sound back by runnin 
'alsaconf'.  IIRC, he got USB back too

   I implore you tho to research first. Specially the cooker, 
CHRPM ML archives, and bugzilla

   As to /dev/dsp, aumix ... mine on current 10.2 is
 tom # ll /dev/dsp
crw-rw  1 tom audio 14, 3 Jan 29 14:46 /dev/dsp

 tom # aumix -q
vol 100, 81, P
pcm 100, 100
line 100, 100, P
mic 100, 100, P
cd 100, 100, P
igain 100, 100
line1 100, 100, P
dig1 100, 100
phin 100, 100, P
phout 100, 100, R
video 100, 100, P

   I never needed 'alsaconf', but you should run 'draksound' an 
follow the suggestions.

Advice; since you've got 10.2b1 you've probly got broadband an 
cooker media sources.  Update daily an contribute back to the 
lists, bugzilla what you can. Often that can be just stayin 
current an votin for bugs already reported, but not yet resolved. 
newbie to guru input.  Don't be too quick tho, often bugs are 
fixed before the community even reacts with bugzilla's or posts.

Sometimes not ;)

Your right, this is my first beta install. I don't yet know about the cooker 
ML. I'll go find it now and get subscribed.

My immediate problem is that /dev/dsp is missing. Don't know what happened to 
it but I'll try your suggestions and see if I can get it back.

Thanks for your input.
