I am trying to get sound to work on my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 4150) and having absolutely no luck.
Thanks to Spider, I got /dev/dsp created when I modprobed snd_mixer_oss and snd_pcm_oss. Dunno why these weren't set up by genkernel since I specified ALSA but at least I've got /dev/dsp now. However I am still getting no sound. It seems that all the right kernel modules are loaded for the sound card, but when I start up XMMS it limps along pretending to play something and I get nothing. I used to be able to `echo foo.raw > /dev/sound` but now /dev/sound is a directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] olsonco $ ls -al /dev/sound total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 .. [EMAIL PROTECTED] olsonco $ Where do I go from here? I'm stumped. -Collin -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Collin Starkweather, Ph.D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
