I have Woody KDE. When I start up KDE, I get a the following poem, Informational\ Sound server informational message:\Error while initializing sound driver:\ device/dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)\ The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
Which, for free verse poetry is all very well and nice, and is very communicative, but I would so like to have my sound card working. - - - Now, I thought I had set everything up as much as I needed, but mayhap I was wrong. So I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of either troubleshooting man pages (or howtos), or else give me some troubleshooting and fixing pointers. [I'm a newbie, but I'm getting my system together little by little.] My sound card's details as reported by MS Win98, are as follows: PCI: Yamaha DS-XG PCI Audio CODEC, INT 10 Mem 4038000-403FFFF Yamaha DS-XG PCI Gameport , I/O 201-201 Yamaha DX-XG PCI Legacy sound system, INT 5, DMA 1, IO 220-22F,388-38F, 330-331 It would be nice to have not only sound output, but sound input working as well. - Thanks. On previous questions I have been asked my name. My name is Michael, and I am a Windows user. I have started to wean myself of Windows, but still have a dual boot situation (Loadlin) and mentality (push key, get coffee. Check computer, use restroom, get more coffee.) Once I used to program, but that was back in the DOS days; now I am a Windows junky, and no good to myself or anybody else. ( Gosh, this sounds just like Windows Anonymous. ) - Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] [If you REPLY, then the followup will take care of getting a copy to me.
