Subject: NEWBIE QUESTION: udev and a "AC97" sound device
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 00:04:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <457DF206.7030401@cox.net> (raw)
I suppose this is a bit of a complaint about the available documentation
on udev. At least on my Ubuntu installation, I can't find much (README,
Release-Notes, FAQ). My MSI/nVidia box contains an AC97 sound card.
Some Googling turned up a usenet posting advising another unfortunate to:
"Recreate the correct device files with mknod. Use the following major
and minor numbers:
14, 3 /dev/dsp
14, 19 /dev/dsp1
14, 35 /dev/dsp2
14, 51 /dev/dsp3
The error message you get is a bit misleading. What it means is: the
driver module is not loaded"
But, of course, my distro has udev. I'll venture a SWAG that the
equivalent involves something like 'NUMBER, . . . NAME="dsp"' but I'm a
bit chicken about messing with the /dev system.
If someone wants to say "Why didn't you look at . . ." (assuming I have
a copy of ...), fine. I know a whole lot about computers and
programming, but not yet nearly enough about linux.
Anyway, TIA
