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. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] todd]# ls -lah /dev/dsp > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 1 20:31 /dev/dsp -> > /dev/dsp0 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] todd]# ls -lah /dev/mixer > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 1 20:31 /dev/mixer -> > /dev/mixer0 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.
