/dev/dsp missing gnome applet volume control complaining
Hey gang, I'm running sarge on an ibm laptop T40 from emperorlinux. I just upgraded the empkernel to 2.6.12 which got lots of things working which I had broken trying to fiddle with sound on my own. Later, when I tried to get the cdrom player working under gnome: /usr/bin/gnome-cd but had weak or no sound. SO, I went to the gnome Volume Control Applet (2.8.2) but it complains about: Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found in an Error dialog. When I checked for devices I see no /dev/dsp but there is a /dev/snd and /dev/sndstat. Anybody else seen gnome Volume Control broken as such? Is this a side effect of moving from oss to alsa? I was able to turn the sound up by: apt-get install kde kdm and using the kde volume control gismo. lsmod | grep snd: snd_intel8x0 29504 1 snd_ac97_codec 80120 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm84616 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 21892 1 snd_pcm snd47844 5 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 7904 2 audio,snd snd_page_alloc 7812 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm Thanks, hgh. -- Henry Hollenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: /dev/dsp missing gnome applet volume control complaining
This problem has been happening a lot lately. In any case, it has happened on most computers that I have installed Debian on recently. I remember being told that the reason is that Alsa is not stable enough so that it does not get installed by default (or something to that effect). Not much help, I know. Sorry.
