I'm no pro at this, but I ran into the same thing. I have a 2.6.x kernel and a working /dev/dsp (used for Skype - the rest of my stuff is ALSAfied now). Try: modprobe snd_{pcm,mixer}_oss I think that fills in the brains behind /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer Here's my module list, in case it helps: Module Size Used by nvidia 3711044 12 agpgart 34664 1 nvidia parport_pc 36900 1 lp 11176 0 parport 41800 2 parport_pc,lp joydev 9984 0 mousedev 10476 1 ipv6 264740 10 genrtc 9588 0 af_packet 22568 2 ehci_hcd 32004 0 uhci_hcd 33136 0 via82cxxx 14332 1 via_rhine 21672 0 mii 5120 1 via_rhine capability 4520 0 commoncap 7232 1 capability snd_usb_audio 73216 0 snd_via82xx 29540 0 snd_ac97_codec 69988 1 snd_via82xx snd_pcm_oss 55080 0 snd_mixer_oss 20096 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 98728 3 snd_usb_audio,snd_via82xx,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 25732 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11752 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm gameport 4704 1 snd_via82xx snd_mpu401_uart 7968 1 snd_via82xx snd_rawmidi 25124 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8200 1 snd_rawmidi snd 57156 10 snd_usb_audio,snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 10336 1 snd usbhid 32224 0 usbcore 119012 6 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd,snd_usb_audio,usbhid psmouse 20360 0 ide_generic 1408 0 ide_disk 19296 0 ide_cd 42656 0 ide_core 139940 4 via82cxxx,ide_generic,ide_disk,ide_cd cdrom 40732 1 ide_cd ext3 127240 2 jbd 62616 1 ext3 mbcache 9348 1 ext3 sd_mod 21728 4 sata_via 7428 3 libata 41700 1 sata_via scsi_mod 125228 2 sd_mod,libata unix 28756 130 font 8320 0 vesafb 6656 0 cfbcopyarea 3872 1 vesafb cfbimgblt 3040 1 vesafb cfbfillrect 3776 1 vesafb Tschüs, -rjk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
