No /dev/dsp found [solved]
I have searched around but cant find anything on my problem and dont know where to start in fixing it.
I dont have dsp in /dev/ or in /dev/sound...but I can play audio through XMMS and Mplayer. Mplayer actually gives me this warning: Code:
audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/sound/dsp: No such file or directory Running Gentoo with KDE. Even amixer setups fine but I dont have sound in flash and think this is the culprit. Any help would be awesome cause I would love to get sound in flash and fix this dsp problem. Thanks. |
in the alsa distribution there is a script that makes any missing devices, its called snddevices, but in fact it makes a link to /dev/dsp0, which is a character device with major 14 and minor 3 on my system, see "man mknod" and the file "devices.txt" in the kernel documentation for more details.

Thanks for pointing me in the right spot. I read devices.txt and found that dsp is digital audio, which I had not compiled support in my kernel for.
Recompiled my kernel, rebooted, and voila. DSP is there and Mplayer loads perfectly...awesome. Thanks so much :D |
