MAKEDEV snd0 creates audio0, mixer0, etc. and creates symbolic links called audio, mixer, etc. pointing to them MAKEDEV snd1 does the same thing for audio1, mixer1. The symbolic links are changed, too. The applications use /dev/audio, /dev/pcm, etc. by default. Afer the second MAKEDEV, these devices point to /dev/audio1, /dev/pcm1, etc. According to the output of "cat /dev/sndstat", there's only pcm0 in your system. In other words, /dev/audio1 are useless. And that's the reason why the applications complain. Solution: sh# cd /dev sh# MAKEDEV snd0 That creates the devices again (unnceccessary) and fixes the links. After that, your applications should work. /s/Udo -- I have learned over the years, that if it is the truth you seek, then honesty on your own part, is the best policy. That and torture.
