I am trying to get a program working that wants to access my

 Soundblaster and audio programs work. Is there some other way to
access the sound card? I am using ML9.1.


/dev is a 'virtual file or directory', but really should have a /dev/sound/audio. are you loading devfs?


what program?

maybe a link from /dev

The program is linpsk. A ham radio program that takes the audio output from the radio into the line in on the sound card. It takes the audio from the sound card and puts it in a display window showing the waveform and from that you get text. The program asks for /dev/audio. This points to /dev/sound/audio which is an empty file. In fact all the files in /dev/sound are empty.

How can I tell if I am loading devfs? Where is it?

Thanks,
Gary
