LIterally LOST /dev/sound/dsp


Recommended Posts

i have literally lost /dev/sound/dsp

i think someone has kidnapped it and holding it for ransom :ninja:

i have no idea when or where i lost it, it is really confusing me

the last thing i recall doing is emerging alsa, however sound was working after then

i have also managed to get gdesklets working, this is when i first noticed the problem, when i was testing the corner xmms player gdesklet

i have tried lsof to see if anything is using /dev/sound/dsp

also tried running xmms in fluxbox, gnome, kde, and some other wm i happen to have to see if it was a wm based process that was hogging the sound file

it was then i decided to run xmms in terminal

instead of seeing, /dev/dound/dsp device or resource busy

i see

** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/sound/dsp): No such file or directory

then i started eeping and crying like a little girl, well not literally, but i was very confused

so i did an

updatedb

then locate */dsp

hoping that it woudl just have moved house or something

but no, i think its been kidnapped, its not ther anymore, eep

is there anyway that i can recreate the file, or re-emerge drivers that would reinstate the file in its right directory???

please help, i have a scrim for enemyterritory in a few days and i need sound to play it

thanks in advace
