I've Fedora core 3, kernel 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 - And I use Kde 3.3.1 My Audio board: # lspci | grep audio 00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 06) Since yesterday, audio was working. But after I used skype (all ok, after editing in audio mixer) my system crash on exiting from skype. So, after reboot I've this error: Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. i.e. system can't open /dev/dsp device (no such file or directory). But, before re-boot I had dsp in /dev dir!! So I re-create dsp by MAKEDEV or mknod.. su root: mknod /dev/dsp c 14 3 and then chmod 666 /dev/dsp Why major and minor 14 3? 'cause.. cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 4 /dev/vc/0 4 tty 4 ttyS 5 /dev/tty 5 /dev/console 5 /dev/ptmx 7 vcs 10 misc 13 input 14 sound 29 fb 36 netlink 108 ppp 116 alsa 128 ptm 136 pts 180 usb 226 drm Block devices: 1 ramdisk 2 fd 3 ide0 9 md 22 ide1 253 device-mapper 254 mdp [/quote] Btw, after creating device.. I've always same problem! And dsp disappear from my dev dir!! So, I look at dmesg output: dmesg output: AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET AC'97 0 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer. EMU10K1_Audigy: probe of 0000:00:0a.0 failed with error -5 Shit! Maybe problem it's here! But, what's problem!? I look at modules: # lsmod | grep snd snd_emu10k1_synth 7873 0 snd_emux_synth 38593 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_seq_virmidi 6593 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_midi_event 8385 1 snd_seq_virmidi snd_seq_midi_emul 6593 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq 55121 4 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq_midi_emul snd_emu10k1 92997 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_rawmidi 25953 2 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1 snd_seq_device 8525 5 snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi snd_ac97_codec 67489 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_pcm_oss 47989 0 snd_mixer_oss 17089 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 93001 3 snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 29125 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 9541 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_util_mem 4801 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 8901 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd 52645 12 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep That's all! I've not others ideas! I tried also by system-config-sound, but audio test fail 'cause it can find device. In the end, I've tried to upgrade my system by CD's Fedora Core 3. Nothing, and now I've not system-config-sound in my dir !! HELP ME, PLS!! G.
