Great. Thanks a lot: this pointed me in the right direction. I couldn't actually run MAKEDEV dsp, but I had a look at MAKEDEV, and found MAKEDEV audio worked ok. I've got the default permissions, and added myself to audio group using adduser audio as root, and this worked fine. Cheers

OK, I replying to myself. I didn't select /dev/dsp as one of the sound options in the kernel. Now I've sorted this, I still have a problem: I can't use /dev/dsp, because it doesn't exist. What should have created this, and how do I fix it? Thanks Rich Richard Harran wrote: > > I have had to
