it does not run.
What do you mean by "tt does not run"?  Are you root or using sudo
when invoking this program?

I have got "system-config-soundcar"d going now,but 'updating driver'
In system-config-soundcard->System click "Reload audio driver". Then
click "Apply". It may take a few seconds for your system to respond to
the Apply command. After that go to system-config-soundcard->Sound
Test and click on the Start button ">".
I have done that with no result

does nothing and the error '/dev/dsp' is not installed or similar on a
reboot; "ls -l /dev/dsp" shows nothing.
My modprobe.conf is

 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0: &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ;
}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
By the way, do you have ACPI enabled on your system. My system is so
old that it does not have ACPI capabilities.

Hope this helps   David
/dev/dsp does not exist,how do I set it up as a device with Major and
Minor numbers.

I may have missed a bit of this thread, but looking back through my inbox I found a reference to /dev/dsp. It said, if you are you are using OSS (open sound system) /dev/dsp should be automatically created on bootup. For Alsa, you need to have the alsa-oss package installed.

Creating a /dev/dsp is probably going to be a waste of time, as when you reboot it won't be recreated. OSS is pretty much deprecated, so to be able to use apps that need OSS, you need to install the alsa-oss package.

alsa-oss wasn't available at first on FC5, but I see that it turned up in extras later on, and am presuming it's available for FC6 as well.

2¢ worth of perhaps useless info.

Nigel.

No my sound system is Alsa.
