Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u I missed the beginning of this thread, sorry, but I guess the basics - are the relevant modules loaded? Many sound cards have different sound outs - try both the digital and the analog, as the module may not support both. Try (in /dev/) MAKEDEV audio - that'll recreate all the relevant /dev/ nodes. Is your user in the audio group? When you cat a file to /dev/dsp, does it actually hang, or is it just pausing while the file is being catted? I mean, if you cat a 5 second .wav file, does it pause for longer than the 5 seconds. You can strace these trials to see if the program thinks it is successfully opening /dev/dsp for writing, or if there is a problem. OK - I'm out of ideas for now. Write back with details, and I'm sorry if I'm suggesting things already done. HTH, Steve -- "In the fight between you and the world, back the world." --Frank Zappa
