I have the usual dsp sound message.

I have read the numerous threads around and while I have only found one that works for me, the on that requires you to run a script before you play it.

However I am wondering if there is a more perminent fix to the solution. As yet from reading the threads I havent come accross any. Configuring a file or something.

What exactly is the problem? I know its trying to use a device that is already being used.

I know im just being awkward but I would find a perminent fix mroe useful then having to run a script every time i decide to play it.

Thanks

Michael

ps. sorry about adding to the never ending posts about this problem.. Running mandriva 06. Kept everything as default as in sound etc.

Well i dont know if this will work for you, but it worked on gentoo for me, for an id software games

echo "nameofgame.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

hopfully it will work for you. it will make autostart your sound in games

least it did for me

yeh that wors, is there any way to get it to start when my pc boots?

it will work when u start up by defualt, but ur on linux you shouldnt have to rebbot, all the time like windoz

I only have my machine on when im using it so, its turned off a night.

then add that line to your

/etc/conf.d/local.start

no such file exists on my system
