Please forgive me if I'm being dumb or the answers are well-documented,
but I can't seem to find it.
On my new Dell Inspiron 8000, with an ESS SB-compatible soundcard,I
can't get the sound to work; it says
/dev/dsp (or /dev/audio or whatever): Device not configured
I have
device pcm in my kernel config and I've tried adding
device sbc as well; it fails the same with or without this one.
I've done
sh MAKEDEV snd0
in the /dev directory; it complete without complaint.
In investigating this, I did a dmesg and it doesn't seem to be even
*trying* to configure a sound device at startup time. I would have at
least expected to see *something* about the device pcm or sbc there, but
nothing . . .
I know it's picking up my new kernel 'cause it's built today and with my
kernel tag ("BTS"), but that's not the only odd thing . . . besides the
sound card being missing, a bunch of other devices are trying to
initialize but shouldn't be. I've tried doing a find / grep for
references to these devices under /etc and /usr/local/etc, but no dice.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here's the start of my dmesg output:
