I have mandrake on an IBM thinkpad with essolo1 sound. I cannot get sound to
function properly. First, when I login to kde, I get a message that /dev/dsp
doesn't exist (Does too! Does too!). I delete all the sound module crap from
/etc/modules.conf and try to run sndconfig with the intent of using oss but
it tells me that I am not using a kernel with modular sound enabled (Am too!
Am too! The kernel is the stock MODULAR Mandrake 8.0 2.4.3-20mdk kernel). I
try to use DrakConf and it tells me that there is no available mixer so it
can't do anything. There ARE mixers, damnit. I have aumix and alsamixer.
It can use anything it wants.
What do I do to get sound working? Why can't the system see the /dev/dsp
which DOES exist on my system? What is it that DrakConf needs in order to
realize that there ARE mixers available for use?
