Sorry again for the mis-information... You should upgrade your nas, the current version (1.2p5-9) will not open /dev/nas unless playing a sound file. Torsten

HTH That's also true, but has nothing to do with the mentioned error message. The "Cant't open /dev/dsp" error seemed to be going away after I stopped NAS. Sorry again for the mis-information...

Just add the configuration to the /etc/modutils/options file and then run update-modules, that will do the trick. It did for me:-) I've got an AWE32 PNP with a 2.2.3 kernel running with no problems. -- Pedro Guerreiro (aka digito)([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Diplomacy: the art of letting someone have your own way.

I compiled sound support as modules, so I need to specify io,irq,dma and dma16 parameters when the modules are loaded. Without specifying dma16 I could use bplay, the mixer worked, but mpg123 was not able to play. Providing dma16 solved the problem for me. HTH Antal
Re: Upgrade to 2.2.1 kernel, sound problems
Also, there were several updates to the AWE driver (as well as data-corruption fixes) between 2.2.1 and 2.2.3). It might be a good idea to update to the current sources. I don't think there's a .deb version of 2.2.3 on the main debian site yet... but I believe that http://netgod.net/ has the debianized source/image.

Re: Upgrade to 2.2.1 kernel, sound problems
Are you upgrading from a 2.0.x series kernel? If so, there are a number of changes to the way sound is set up -- read the docs in Documentation/sound. Especially if you compiled sound support as a module (which I'm guessing you did since you weren't asked to configure it), it would be a good idea to take a look at README.modules.

Upgrade to 2.2.1 kernel, sound problems
I upgraded to the 2.2.1 kernel (it should be somewhat stable being an even release number) and my AWE 64 sound card now fails to work. I have isapnp installed to configure the soundcard on bootup, that works fine (prints out board id etc...). However when I attempt to use mpg123 to play mp3 files I recieve the following error. Can't open /dev/dsp! However I do have dsp in my device driver dir (/dev/). ls -l /dev/dsp crw-rw 1 root audio 14, 3 May 12 1998 /dev/dsp Can you shed any light on my problem? (I also noticed that the config script for the kernel never asked for io/irq/dma etc.. addresses what's up?) Thanks for your time Mark Panzer
