How are you implementing ALSA? Are you using the kernel modules or the alsa ebuilds? If kernel, then make sure it the oss emulation is enabled. Check your alsa file at /etc/modules.d/alsa, it should look like: alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp # the alsa drive I need for my sound hardware alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss options snd cards_limit=1 alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss -- From the Desk of: Jerome D.

Sound in > audacious and pidgin still works though. What should I do? I just ran mythfrontend in a terminal and looked at the output. I saw a lot of this line: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory If /dev/dsp doesn't exist, then how is everything else using sound? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
