Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-sound@vger.kernel.org Hi. I'm new to this group. I've been on linux-newbie for a couple months trying to set up my first linux box. I also convinced my girlfriend that Linux would eliminate her blue-screen problem and am now setting hers up. She's a pianist and needs sound capability on her HP 4440 (Red Hat 6.1). I installed an old ESS Audiodrive 1868F in her HP and am trying to get it working. I d-loaded ALSA last night and followed all the directions in the HOWTO but still nothing. I tried sndconfig this morning and went ok until it tried to open /dev/audio, states error trying to open, no other info, kinda vague. I rm'd it and re-created another /dev/audio (not sure if it would work), still nothing. Is there anyone thart can help me here? TIA, John
