No sound


When I try to enable the sound, it always states:

/dev/dsp no such device

What should I do?

How are you trying to enable sound?

Also, what kind of soundcard do you have? Have you gotten the module installed okay?

If you open up a terminal and type:

ls -l /dev/dsp

What do you get? Hopefully you get something. If you do, then you should probably chmod 755 /dev/dsp and also chmod 755 /dev/mixer so users can have sound in X. Let me know.
