I have about 8 weeks of linux experience under my belt, and I'm about ready to tackle the job of activating sound under my SuSE 5.1 distribution. In general, how does one do this? A couple of applications (including Tkdesk) emit a message that "/dev/sound is not recognized". How do I activate it, or load the sound module? There _is_ such a file in the /dev directory. My sound card is a basic Acer AW32, with a Crystal sound chip (PnP), and it's listed among the supported cards in the OSS-Linux site (4Front). I understand that re-compiling the kernel is probably not necessary, and I'd like to postpone that adventure a bit if I can. Could someone give me some advice, or point me to some of the appropriate documents? Thanks! -Kyle -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
