Hi, I can't write to either /dev/audio or /dev/dsp, even as root. The permissions on both are crw-rw----. I discovered when trying to set up RealAudio for a Linux broadcast. When I tried to cat a file to either of these devices I get "cat: write error: Input/output error".
I am wondering if I have maybe misconfigured my sound card. I know I could cat sound files through to the device when I was still running Deb 1.3. I don't know much about sound though. When I was compiling the kernel for sound, is was more by guess and by golly than thorough understanding that I got it to work in 1.3. I thought I had compiled things the same way when I upgraded. Anyone know what I should be looking at ? I know at least part of the kernel support is OK because I can play a music CD throught the sound card. Thanks, Gerald
