Yeah, me too, til about 3am. Had lots of hits but no clearcut
solution. Already tried the
above but doesn't show me anything. Perhaps you can make something of
the results:
ChatagnierL-Home:/home/lchata# ls -l /dev/dsp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Apr 19 07:11 /dev/ds p -> dsp
Looks like /dev/dsp points to itself. Weird. That's where your recursion
comes from, though.
ChatagnierL-Home:/home/lchata# ls -l/dsp
ls: invalid option -- /
Try `ls --help' for more information.
ChatagnierL-Home:/home/lchata# ls -l /dsp
ls: /dsp: No such file or directory
ChatagnierL-Home:/home/lchata# ls -l dsp
ls: dsp: No such file or directory
ChatagnierL-Home:/home/lchata#
I did locate dsp:
/dev/.udevdb/class@sound@adsp
/dev/.udevdb/class@sound@dsp
/dev/adsp
/dev/dsp
Do you have anything that matches /dev/dsp* ?
ChatagnierL-Home:/home/lchata# ls -l /dev/dsp*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Apr 22 07:35 /dev/dsp -> dsp
ChatagnierL-Home:/home/lchata# Doesn't seem so, but:
There seems to be symlinks for several sound items that are linked to
themselves as
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Apr 22 07:35 adsp -> adsp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Apr 22 07:35 audio -> audio
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Apr 22 07:35 mixer -> mixer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 22 07:35 sndstat ->
/proc/asound/oss/sndstat
And in the /dev/.static/dev/ dir I find these character nodes:
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Mar 14 2002 dsp
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 19 Mar 14 2002 dsp1
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 35 Mar 14 2002 dsp2
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 51 Mar 14 2002 dsp3
This layering is so confusing to me. Do I make the ln -s dsp "to one of
these"?
Right now, I'm not sure what the next step should be. Will waite on a
reply before
doing anything.
snipped a bunch or .ko, .so and .h files wih the 'dsp' sequence in
them. I'll ls -l these if needed
but I only see the "one" symbolic link to dsp. So, I didn't get
anywhere. Also, I think the number
3, after root root(3rd column in ls -l output) indicates the number of
links to /dev/dsp? Where are
they, if that's so?

I think the files you tried to play that gave you the error about too many
levels of symbolic links are good files. Right now, that's the error
you've got to fix.
One way to do this is to move all alsa related config files out of the
way, run alsaconf, and see if it still generates recursive links. If it
doesn't, you might be finished. If it does, post the results, and what
you did, and we'll work it from there.
Ok, this could be difficult. There are a lot of them. Do something like
locate alsa.
Rename all alsa*.conf to *.old.
Then run alsaconf? ?to be sure I'm on the same wavelength?
You should be able to do this just in the /etc directory. You could just
move /etc/alsa/ to /etc/oldalsa/, then run alsaconf again.
Thanks for coming back. Had time for a little googling and came up with
same
conclusion, but no solution. BTW, I have sound on w98se on the Dell so,
the wiring
setup between my HP speakers, mic, etc must be ok.

Well, it's good that you know your physical connections are fine, and that
your hardware works. One less problem to troubleshoot.
