Do you have all of your audio devices in your /dev directory? You should
have (most of) these devices in your /dev directory:
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 4 Apr 17 13:53 audio
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 20 Apr 17 13:53 audio1
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 3 Apr 17 13:53 dsp
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 19 Apr 17 13:53 dsp1
crw------- 1 fassler sys 35, 0 Apr 17 13:53 midi0
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 2 Apr 17 13:53 midi00
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 18 Apr 17 13:53 midi01
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 34 Apr 17 13:53 midi02
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 50 Apr 17 13:53 midi03
crw------- 1 fassler sys 35, 1 Apr 17 13:53 midi1
crw------- 1 fassler sys 35, 2 Apr 17 13:53 midi2
crw------- 1 fassler sys 35, 3 Apr 17 13:53 midi3
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 0 Apr 17 13:53 mixer
crw------- 1 fassler sys 14, 16 Apr 17 13:53 mixer1
(Obviously the won't be owned by "fassler" on your system :-)
If you don't have these, you can create them -- as root type:
"cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV audio"
Also, if your kernel sound support is enabled as modules, you may have to
load those modules. Try "modprobe dmasound.o" as root.
