Hi all folks, RH 8.0 ====== Before running apt-get upgrade the sound server was working properly, using "alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6"
After upgrade with "apt-get upgrade" the sound server died. On login following warning popup >>> Xinformational - artsmessage Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. <<< There are 2 alsa-drivers installed on my system. # rpm -qa|grep alsa balsa-1.2.4-8 alsa-driver-0.9.4-fr0.rh80.2 alsa-utils-0.9.4-fr0.rh80.1 alsa-lib-0.9.4-fr0.rh80.1 # locate alsa ...... ...... /usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/alsa-kernel/include /usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/alsa-kernel/include/ac97_codec.h ..... ...... /usr/src/alsa/alsa-lib-0.9.0rc6 /usr/src/alsa/alsa-lib-0.9.0rc6/utils ..... ..... /usr/src/alsa/alsa-utils-0.9.0rc6 /usr/src/alsa/alsa-utils-0.9.0rc6/utils .... .... # locate snddevices /usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/snddevices.in /usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/snddevices # ls -l /dev/snd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 15 15:27 /dev/snd -> /proc/asound/dev It is a symbolic link # cd /proc/asound/ bash: cd: /proc/asound/: No such file or directory # ls -l /proc/asound/dev ls: /proc/asound/dev: No such file or directory Kindly advise how fix this problem.
