[Alsa-user] alsa mixer device, bit of a mess ...

[Weevil <doc...@ya...>]

hello,

i installed slax 5.1.4 to my harddrive which isn't recommended since it's a live cd. unfortunately, it was the only linux so far that ran my laptop stablely. livecd worked fine for sound, detected my audigy2 zs pcmcia. after the hdinstall some music apps complain that they cannot find the mixer, kde, madplay, rexima. alsamixer, mpg321, kplayer work fine. since i'm getting an error message to the effect that /dev/dsp is missing, would it be as simple as linking this to /dev/snd/?. that's my problem if i'm on the right track here. i've got 2 soundcards, the audigy is configured as the default, now which device in /dev/snd is my main mixer. i have a feeling it got to have a '0' at the end since that signifies the default card but after that i'm lost.

thanks.
