Ok, I have this now but there is still this problem: Without the links in place: maplay -v test.mp2 can't open /dev/dsp for writing: No such file or directory With the symlink: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 9 Nov 9 07:44 dsp -> /dev/dsp1 maplay -v test.mp2 test.mp2 is a layer II stereo MPEG audio stream without checksums. The sample frequency is 44.1 kHz at a bitrate of 192 kbit/s. This stream is an original and is not copyright protected. write to /dev/dsp failed: No such file or directory I have rtfm'd but dont understand what is causing this, please advise. regards kim
