Thanks, but nope, no /dev/sound/dsp. It never ceases to amaze me that sometimes something like this comes along and is added to the kernel - in this case sound drivers based on alsa - but upon building and installing said kernel, it fails to complete the process required for it to work properly.
No dsp anywhere on my system. My /dev/sound directory is empty. My /dev/snd directory contains nothing relating to alsa. praedor On Tuesday 12 November 2002 02:00 pm, James Sparenberg wrote: > Pradeor, > > On my laptop (different model) /dev/dsp is a link to /dev/sound/dsp > If sound/dsp exists just do the soft link and restart kde. > > James > > On Tue, 2002-11-12 at 09:04, Praedor Tempus wrote: > > I just built a custom 2.4.19mdk kernel on my laptop (IBM Thinkpad) and > > all went well except (as seems usual) for sound.
