can't find sound device

or try this. go to yoru bios and disable plug and play, or set your o/s as "other". i solved my shit too and i didn't have to download anything for it

and install the sndconfig rpm from your disks. that was pretty good at diagnosing the problem

i use $mknod /dev/dsp c 14 3 and the file created.
but when i change the permissions to 777 from root but still the sound doesn't come. after logout and log into other user it shows the file attrib as old rw-------.
it seems the permissions 777 don't work after logout.

help me.

Listen, i tried all of that, and for me, at least, none of it worked. Umm, it would help to know what distribution you're using, and also, post the output of "lsmod". I still think it would be much simpler to just download the alsa drivers, but you should really only do that if all else fails. Oh yeah, and post the output of "lspci", also.

help me. how to change it permanently to 777.

Listen, i'm telling you that changing the permissions is useless. I tried all that already, and it just doesn't work. Forget about it. Post the output of lspci and lsmod, and then we'll talk. And i would still seriously consider alsa drivers.

hexbit has been graciously trying to help me fix it.

but, since i haven't gotten it to work quite yet i can't give any definitive help, but you can try some of the things hexbit has told me to try:

try recreating the device like this:

#mknod /dev/dsp/ c 14 3
#chmod 777 /dev/dsp

also, maybe you could post your lsmod and lspci

Thanks Man
