David, Interesting challenge. A similar thing happened to me. I knew I needed /dev/snd0, but for some reason MAKEDEV wouldn't work (several retries and several reboots both as user and root). I recompiled my kernel to include the pcm sound driver anyway. Once I recompiled my kernel I was able to create a snd0 device so I'm assuming creating /dev/snd0 is dependent on pcm being compiled in the kernel. Of course, as a newbie, I could be wrong, but it worked for me. Good luck. Have you included pcm in your kernel? Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: David J.
