Mousy LQ Newbie Registered: Sep 2006 Distribution: Mandriva 2005 LE - Ubuntu Edgy - Ubuntu Feisty Posts: 14 Rep:	I cannot use /dev/dsp with VLC player When using other applications I get good sound, but when I use VLC player, the debug information I read is that I am not allowed to open /dev/dsp. I tried as root as well, without any luck. I have googled around. And tried most of the solutions proposed. Didn't work. I have Mandrake 10.2 with ALSA as standard, and I added AOSS (trying to sort another issue I have with Audacity not seeing my sound card). Any idea what I can try next? Thanks
