This is strange. Did you re-install or upgrade ? The device /dev/audio is usually set up during the installation. > > I did ln -s /dev/sound/dsp /dev/audio I am getting garbled > sound. How to go about to make saytime to work? > Did you confirm that /dev/audio was not present, before you took this step ? In any case, you have no option now but to re-make your /dev/audio. A symlink to /dev/dsp may not work. I also notice that you have annotated /dev/sound/dsp. This is perhaps MDK specific ... On my Slack box, the /dev/audio and /dev/dsp can be created as follows: #makedev c 0664 root sys 14 3 dsp #makedev c 0664 root sys 14 4 audio Please note that the minor numbers vary. A symlink is unlikely to get the correct kernel responses because of incorrect minor number. If you have MDK-8.0 somewhere, check the major/ minor numbers and create the device /dev/audio using above syntax. In case you do not, re-confirm the major/ minor with some other users of MDK before committing yourself ... my numbers will NOT be correct for your system ! Also crosscheck on the ownership.
