Hello List, I would appreciate some help to get this PCI SB Live working. It's on a new Dell with a BIOS that doesn't have a PNP OS on/off selection. There are no ISA slots. I think I need a Linux driver for this SB from somewhere. The /dev/dsp is a new device to me, so a link may be all that needed. Regards, Frank K System information follows: Sound server informational message popup: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. root[1962] ls -al /dev/dsp crw------- 1 frankk root 14, 3 Jan 30 02:24 /dev/dsp root[1964] less -f /dev/dsp /dev/dsp: No such device /etc/modules.conf: alias eth0 e100 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci alias usb-controller ehci-hcd >From /var/log/messages: May 31 09:37:21 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-0 May 31 09:37:21 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-3 May 31 09:37:22 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-0 May 31 09:37:22 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0 May 31 09:37:22 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-0 May 31 09:37:22 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0 May 31 09:37:22 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 May 31 09:37:22 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 May 31 09:37:22 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 May 31 09:37:22 frankk-server1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset Host Bridge (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 01) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #1) (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #2) (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #3) (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA/CA/DB PCI Bridge (rev 81) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801DB ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801DB ICH4 IDE (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801DB SMBus (rev 01) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF 02:01.0 Serial controller: US Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem Model 5610 (rev 01) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs [SB Live!
