Hi,
/dev/dsp is not a link
there is no /dev/sound/dsp in this config

sound works if you log in as root, but gives an error like
/dev/dsp No such device
using /dev/null or somesuch

heres the relevant parts of my /etc/modules.conf


#alias sound-slot-1 i810_audio
#commented the following two
#post-install sound-slot-1 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
#pre-remove sound-slot-1 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null
2>&1 || :
alias eth0 nvnet
alias sound-slot-1 nvaudio
#added this..
alias /dev/dsp sound-slot-1
#

the sound module doesn't load on bootup, I can force it from root

-kg
