First of all you can check your /dev to see if there is an actual dsp device. If so then try catting some text file to it to see if you get a screech from your speakers (I generally use modprobe.conf). IIRC alsa also creates a /dev/adsp device which you can use for legacy progs. The error messages if any will tell you whether the device is in use or non existent. > I know this is weak on critical info, but I don't know what files to look at > and post for better troubleshooting.

A little bit more info would help :) try checking permissions, group access and loaded kernel modules too. -- Shane Shields <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Erkunt Tarim -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
