uhm, CTRL + C should have done the trick. You seem to have issued two seperate 
commands here. That won't work because grep will read from standard input and 
if you don't type anything there is nothing to grep. Those two commands were 
supposed to be piped together ( | - symbol). Try copying the whole thing "ps 
ax | grep devfsd" into a shell). It seems though, you don't have a devfs 
based system.

ok, those two are symlinks. Are you trying to use sound as root? Then you 
shouldn't have any permission problems anyways, otherwise please provide the 
output of:

ls -la /dev/dsp*

and

ls -la /dev/mixer*

Did you log in as root directly or did you su to root? If you used su, did you 
only do a "su" or did you do "su -"? If you only did a su, /sbin and 
/usr/sbin are probably not in your PATH. Either "su -" to root or try 

/sbin/lsmod 

or 

/usr/sbin/lsmod

lsmod should be there somewhere.

Your /etc/modules.conf or at least the alsa related stuff in there is also 
needed.

Thanks,

Richard
