Hi All
I am having difficulty configuring sound on my system an wonder if anyone can help me.
xmms refuses to play telling me that
oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/sound/dsp): No such file or directory
what I have done to try and fix this is
1. create /dev/sound/dsp (mknod /dev/sound/dsp c 14 3) ..didnt work
2. create /dev/dsp as above ..didnt work
3 ln -s /dev/dsp /dev/sound/dsp ...didnt work
4 gave 'open house' permissions on said device files ...didnt work
5 tried to play audio file directly through the device eg cat myaudiofile > /dev/dsp (or /dev/sound/dsp) got back this message
-bash: /dev/dsp: No such device

I thought this odd as when I ran 'file' on /dev/dsp I got this
/file /dev/dsp
/dev/dsp: character special (14/3)
I should point out that I am using devfs about which I know very little could this be the culprit? (should I edit /etc/devfs.conf???)
I am running 2.4.20-gentoo-r2
many thanks for any pointers as no music is driving me crazy
