Hmm.... comes up as... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2004-10-21 18:44 /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2004-10-21 18:44 /dev/dsp0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 19 2004-10-21 18:44 /dev/dsp1 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 35 2004-10-21 18:44 /dev/dsp2 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 51 2004-10-21 18:44 /dev/dsp3 > If you want to change the permissions of the device file (not > recommended) you can run "chmod 777 /dev/dsp*" as root. Tried this and still get... " failed to open audio output Alsa 1.2.10 output plugin" in a Gtk GUI based error messsage.. <scratches head><thinks about kicking the cat> Well, your advice was just about what I was thinking anyway. Maybe it's permissions - I thought. But, seems like it ain't. Had a go at installing some other Alsa based libraries but that didn't have any effect either. Think I have to admit that I'm not able to work this one out :) -- Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
