Do you see a sound card entry in /proc/interupts, /proc/ioports or /proc/dma?
what happens if you do:
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
do you get static or not, an error message, for heavens sake man give us
something? :)
If you get no error message or strange 'hung' style noises you probably just
have your mixer settings right down low (or muted)......install 'nmixer' or
something similar and try again with the mixer settings dealt with.
Can you see the mixer settings.....
please as a word of ettiqutte, in future post 'useful' problem reports. All
that then happens is a generic response is sent out, which normally involves
the reply containing information that should of been in the original e-mail.
'Requests' like this are normally passed over and ignored by mailing
list/newsgroup roamers......you are lucky this time mear luser :)
