Create a file /etc/modutils/devfs-aliases containing: alias /dev/dsp sound-device alias /dev/mixer sound-device alias /dev/midi sound-device Where "sound-device" is replaced by your sound module, then run update-modules. I suggest that in future you ask such questions on debian-user and CC the package maintainer (which means me for devfsd). There is an advantage of CCing the maintainer (apart from the fact that the maintainer is most likely to know the correct answer). The maintainer will often have some plans for future changes and will give advice on how to avoid future complications taking into account unannounced new features and the results of testing new upstream betas. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
