At least on my Ubuntu installation, I can't find much (README,=20 Release-Notes, FAQ). My MSI/nVidia box contains an AC97 sound card. =20 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=20 equivalent involves something like 'NUMBER, . . . NAME=3D"dsp"' but I'm a=20 bit chicken about messing with the /dev system.=20 If someone wants to say "Why didn't you look at . . ." (assuming I have=20 a copy of ...), fine. I know a whole lot about computers and=20 programming, but not yet nearly enough about linux. Anyway, TIA --=20 David A.
