Re: Re: Sound troubles
Thanks so much for the detailed advice! I have taken it, but I am afraid
it still doesn't entirely solve the problem.
I blacklisted the OSS modules for both discover and hotplug, as
described in the alsa-base docs. Loaded modules now have only snd-
modules, including snd-pcm-oss:

The programs alsaconf and alsamixer can recognize both the on-board and
soundblaster cards and work with them. But I still can't get and sound
and still can't write to /dev/dsp:
aloysha:~# cat /home/dcw/sndkit/dsp/endoftheworld > /dev/dsp
cat: write error: No such device
I am beginning to think this may be a hotplug or udev problem. I notice
now that many of the audio devices that MAKEDEV is supposed to make are
missing (e.g. /dev/sequencer and /dev/audio), and running MAKEDEV audio
over and over still doesn't create them. (By the way, catting to
/.dev/dsp gives the same error message.)
If you have any follow-up advice, it would be appreciated. Thanks again,
David
