[Alsa-user] problems initializing /dev/dsp for intel-8x0

[Swapnil <sw...@ii...>]

I compiled alsa on my system with i810 motherboard and onboard soundcard.
I passed on --with-sequencer=yes and --with-cards=intel8x0 as options. I
recompiled the kernel with my soundcard built-in as a module. I have a
devfs running.
The alsa sound driver was successfully compiled into the kernel however
when i run any application it shows "could not open /dev/dsp:No such
file or directory". I have
checked the permissions to varios /dev/snd nodes and also that /dev/dsp
doesnt exist but the amixer settings are being set properly for the
default snd-card.
Please help me out.

P.S: Same settings are working fine for another box with sound card on
i845 mb.
