Well one of the things in 6.1 that didn't give me trouble was sound.
My AWE 32 was recognized and has worked for many apps with no prob,
until now.
I had previously done a chmod a+rw /dev/audio*, /dev/dsp* etc
to get all users working as well as root.
mp3s, SoundStudio, realplayerG2, Speakfreely, everything was working
fine,until now
I can't be sure what I did (or was it me?) Anyhow upon attempting to run
a sound realated program I got all kinds of error messages as user so
switched to root.
Same thing: an 'ls -l /dev/audio' gives me:
'crw-rw-rw- 1 bill audio 14, 4 Apr 17 1999 /dev/audio'
'ls -l /dev/dsp' gives me:
'crw-rw-rw- 1 bill audio 14, 4 Apr 17 1999 /dev/dsp'
Obviously something is wrong here !? bill is a user shouldn't that be
root instead?
I don't know how to set things right again.
I am very clueless concerning permissions so if someone could help me
with this it would be appreciated.
If it is something else then I would like to know that as well.
Once again, this was a perfectly functioning L-M 6.1 Sound system which
suddenly
is now dead.
