Re: Sound on a PowerMac
Michael,
Thanks for your response.
I tried your suggestions, but still no audio. Here is what I have thus
far:
1. The sound hardware is installed.
2. How can I tell if the kernel module has been loaded?
3. "cat vmlinuz > /dev/dsp" returns "bash: /dev/dsp: No such device"
4. I added myself to the audio group
5. "ps ax | grep esd" returns nothing
6. Issuing esd returns "/dev/dsp: No such device"

am using Enlightenment as the window manager. I can't get any sound.
When I choose "Settings:Audio Settings..." and select "Enable sounds,"
I encounter the following error message:

Where should I begin looking in order to fix this problem? What could
be the cause of it?
