Hallo, Phil Thomson hat gesagt: // Phil Thomson wrote:
Just got Gentoo GNU/Linux (www.gentoo.org) up and running on one of my machines. Gentoo has now /dev/dsp, but it does have /dev/dspW, which is an alternate dsp device, I'm led to understand. How do I get pd to use this instead of /dev/dsp? When I start up pd, I get:
/dev/dsp (read/write): No such file or directory (now will try write-only...) /dev/dsp (writeonly): No such file or directory /dev/dsp (readonly): Now such file or directory
Where do I get pd to use /dev/dspW instead of /dev/dsp?
I would rather try to fix /dev/dsp. Somnething is wrong if you don't have this device. Are you running the ALSA drivers? If yes, make sure you have snd-pcm-oss loaded and you did run the snddevices script in the alsa-driver sources. If you're running the OSS drivers you should seriously consider to replace them with the ALSA drivers.
Just linking dspW to dsp probably won't solve your problems.
