I am trying to set up a sound card under RedHat9
Kudzu detected it as a Creative Vibra 16x PnP (CT4170)
So that is good but my apps (primarily XMMS) are trying to use /dev/dsp
I suppose I need to make /dev/dsp into a symlink to the new device, but
How do I find which /dev, if any, is setup as the new card?
Or is there something else I need to do?
Thanks,
Ken Goudsward

If you only have one device then it will be
/dev/dsp0 (oss)
or
hw:0,0 (alsa)

========================================
Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.

Be sure that /dev/dsp is owned by the user you logged in as.
Check if artsd is running as your sound server.
If it is running then you have to run those programs that try to open
/dev/dsp with artsdsp, like:
artsdsp play /usr/share/sounds/startup.
To play mp3 files with xmms you probably need to get the mp3 plugin for
xmms.
Or, maybe artsd is not running. Go to preferences -> Sound -> Sound
server and enable it.
You can also use other sound servers as well.
