Hi, The problem I am having is that half the time I boot up my sound works fine, and the other half I get the error that the /dev/dsp device is busy. Now for a little backgroung and some more details. Just purchased the sound blaster 16 pci card. Compiled into the kernel device pcm device sbc At boot the related messages are pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1371> port 0x6200-0x623f irq 9 at device 20.0 on pci0 and yes I did the MAKEDEV snd0 and the subsequent related devices all seem to be in /dev Note that there is no message relative the the sbc device. Is this a problem? I grabed the xmms port, but the port did not provide an entry in my gnome start menu, and so to start it I enter the command line as superuser /path_to_xmms & Then when I try to play an mp3 I get the message in the gnome terminal, the same terminal that I used to start xmms ** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): Device busy and nothing plays. At which time I shutdown the system(reboot seems to never help this problem) turn back on, and sometimes PRESTO I have sound and everthing works. About half the times I boot it comes up with sound, and the other half I don't because of the /dev/dsp busy thing. Help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
