Check if you have /dev/dsp with the proper permissions: $ ls -l /dev/dsp crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2008-11-06 19:41 /dev/dsp If /dev/dsp is missing, try "modprobe snd_pcm_oss" as root. If that improves the situation, add snd_pcm_oss to /etc/modules to have it loaded automatically at boot time. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
