What did you configure your kernel with? "make menuconfig"? > What's the difference between /dev/audio and /dev/dsp? I'm not sure, but for me, doing : cat ~/ftp/sndkit/dsp/endoftheworld > /dev/dsp does some normal quality sound, whereas cat ~/ftp/sndkit/dsp/endoftheworld > /dev/audio does some noise vaguely reminiscent of what the original sound was. > Why I'm I not getting any sound from /dev/dsp? None none? Turned the volume up? > How do I use /dev/midi? Nothing seems to work. Did you try the program called "playmidi" ? As you see, I haven't been of much help. There seems to be many questions, on this list but few answers. Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask more questions. Etienne
