Been having a problem with sound not playing on my Audigy card since moving to Fedorca Core 2. I think it was working when I did an upgrade from FC1 to FC2, but when I reinstalled to get a clean version of FC2 onto the machine it stopped working. Initially I thought it was the driver, however after some experimentation it appears to be the way the devices that access my Audigy soundcard and Mainboard sound were created. ls -l /dev/dsp* gives (yes I know this is not a copy+paste) /dev/dsp /dev/dsp0 -> /dev/dsp /dev/dsp1 Now from using cat to throw random files down the various devices in order to work out what the hell was pointing to what, I've worked out the following /dev/dsp is my onboard sound /dev/dsp1 is my audigy card as a result /dev/dsp0 also points to my onboard sound Now using the gui sound config tool to play test samples I've noticed that no matter what, the default device is always setup to be my onboard sound. I'm not entire sure about this but I'm guessing that its because /dev/dsp is what is referenced and that always connects to my on board sound. Additionally playing the test sample always comes out on my onboard sound, no matter which one I play the test sample from. The way I think it should be setup is /dev/dsp -> symlinked to default sound device /dev/dsp0 connected to on board sound /dev/dsp1 connected to audigy sound card I'm not entirely sure how to either a) recreate the node /dev/dsp0 correctly, can I just move it to /dev/dsp0? or how do I get the correct major minor info (actually I would still appreciate knowing how to get the correct info to recreate /dev/dsp0 correctly even if moving would work) or b) work out why the devices were created incorrectly and fix the problem so if the system rescans itself it won't mess up creating the /dev/dsp* device nodes again. I'm guessing this is all due to some setup configuration bug, so knowing how to work out how it decided to create the various /dev/dsp devices would be useful to add to the bugzilla when I get around to creating it. -- Darragh Bailey "Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool"
