Is there a precompiled kernel that I can use for this purpose (making
sound work on my G4, on which I've just installed woody new-powermac)?
I'm not particularly up for learning how to build a custom one just yet.
Also, can someone point me to instructions on replacing the one I've got
now with the new one?

Did you compile your kernel with sound support? what happen when you
do a modprobe on dmasound_pmac or soundcore (my snd-powermac is for
alsa)?
If you want to get alsa compiled, you need to apt-get the alsa-source,
untar and read the README to compile the ALSA modules with your kernel.
I am (was :-( running alsa on my ibook, but I run now OSS on my other
desktop. Don't fear too much, the problem was popping only with
alsaplayer in alsa mode (oss emul was fine.)
Get yourself a kernel tree and compile with sound support first though.

After seeing your previous post, I'm not sure I *want* alsa
installed. I'd rather not be the one to find out whether it does the
same thing on a G4. :)
Thanks for any help you can offer though.

What's the lsmod output looks like? Do you have ALSA installed? I've
been going to the whole mambo of mucking around with sound last
night (see previous post), so maybe I can help.

are working nicely. I'm stuck on getting sound to work, though.
Upon login to KDE, I was told that permission had been denied for
/dev/dsp. I happily ignored it for the time being, and installed
fluxbox, since I don't really care for KDE or Gnome. After I'd
been using it for a while, it occurred to me that sound wasn't
working here either. So I tried running xmms, and got the
following error immediately:
libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
I don't know whether that's related. But when I tried to play
something, I got a message similar to the one KDE had given:
** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp):
Permission denied
...so I checked permissions:
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Mar 14 02:11 /dev/dsp
...added myself to group audio, tried playing in xmms again, and
got the same error. So just for fun, I changed the permissions to
world-read-writable:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 3 Mar 14 02:11 /dev/dsp
...and tried playing in xmms again. This time I got a new error:
** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp):
No such device
I don't know where to go from here. Can someone help please?
Thanks
