Soundcard probs and total novice



OK - I'm pretty much a complete novice - and need walking by the hand.

I have an onboard soundcard that should conform to the ac97 module. I can insmod ac97, and the associated modules. Soundcore is also installed - but /dev/dsp is still not available (either doesn't exist or permission denied - it tends to vary).

What the hell do I need to do to get the souncard working?

To elimintate the obvious - everything is plugged in correctly - I have a dual boot system - and it all works with windows. OSS is fine - Alsa installed OK (AFAIKT) - so what next?

I've searched (and searched =- and searched ... etc) the web for an answer - experienced Amiga user - if that helps - now I386.


Pls - answers in plain English, thank you :o)
