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.
