Agreed. That is the problem! How did that happen? > Try the following (as root): > # rm /dev/dsp > # ln -s /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp That assumes that /dev/dsp0 exists. Under what conditions would one expect that? It does not on any of my machines of various sorts. I am thinking this is a particular thing on your machine and not something that generally exists on machines. The MAKEDEV script can be used to create these devices. That is probably the easiest for most people. This is what I would recommend since it will fix up other associated devices which may have been corrupted by whatever broke the dsp device. MAKEDEV audio Or you can always create them by hand with mknod directly. mknod /dev/dsp c 14 3 chown root:audio chmod 0660 Bob
