I hate to bump but I'm having serious problems... like I said after I ran sndconfig programs began to start hanging on me, most seriously Konqueror. Can anyone help?

I realise that reinstalling won't fix the sound problem.. I was just stating that I may have modified something which is causing HardDrake to hang everytime I try to load it up.

Also I never said the AWE32 was a bad card... on the contrary. I love the card, and have never had any problems with it (until now but it's fixable). Anyways I did what you said and here are the results:

/etc/Modules.conf

probeall scsi_hostadapter imm ppa

options sound dmabuf=1

post-install awe_wave /bin/sfxload /etc/midi/GU11-ROM.SF2

/etc/modprobe.conf

install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /bin/true

ls -l /dev/s*nd

Ok I ran sndconfig and I heard the sample sound... but I still don't seem to be able to get any sound out of KDE or XMMS for that matter.

As for my sound card info its a Sound Blaster AWE32 (I'm poor lol).

So I tried installing the AWE32/64 sfx driver but now when I try to configure my sound the system hangs. I can't even open HardDrake anymore. Anyways I'll reinstall once I get home and I will have to start from scratch on this problem again. please continue to submit help as the problem will still be there (I've reinstalled twice already.

I am a fan of Mandrake Linux and have recently just sat down and dedicated myself to learning the operating system. I installed Mandrake 10.0 CE over the weekend and have been dealing with a troubling error:

Informational - artsmessage

 

Sound server informational message:

 

Error while initializing the sound driver:

device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)

The sound server will continue using the null output device

So I took it upon myself to search the internet for a possible solution but I have found no answers to my problem. Just before anyone asks if I have a /dev/dsp or /dev/snd or /dev/sound directory I don't have any of them...

I also installed the Redhat sndconfig tool but I can't figure out where it's located or how to run it. The mixers don't do anything either. Also I have tried switching between ALSA, OSS, and all the other sound systems, but none seem to work.

Help is greatly appreciated.
