also check /dev/mixer I had a similar problem - related to trying to get rid of OSS
I think the fix [on Gentoo] was related to something like alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss in /etc/modules.d/alsa The problem was completely fixed when I went to udev for device handling, so YMMV Regards John PS Sorry about breaking the threading, my work email [Groupwise] does not seem to handle threading at all. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/12/2004 9:14:30 p.m. >>> > amixer: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory > aumix: aumix: error opening mixer > not sure, but I would start with testing the ownership and permissions of /dev/dsp (or whatever /dev/dsp points to :-) ********************************************************************** Check out our web site: http://www.cdhb.govt.nz This email and attachments have been scanned for content and viruses and is believed to be clean This email or attachments may contain confidential or legally privileged information intended for the sole use of the addressee(s).
