[mythtv-users] /dev/dsp Permission Denied error, also no display via TV-out. Please help!

[Josh Dalcher]

Hello,
I'm at my wits end here.. I recently attempted an upgrade to CVS but ran into errors.  I have since downgraded back to the 0.16 release.  I'm using Fedora Core 1.  I'm confident that my versions have been successfully restored to 0.16 however I am now plagued with the following problems:

I'm getting an Error opening audio device (/dev/dsp), the error was: Permission denied.  I have the option of continuing without audio, which leads to very slow video performance.

I am seeing this on my monitor since my TV output has not worked since the aforementioned attempt at CVS, despite the fact that my configuration files have not changed.

In desperation, I removed all of the -devel packages that I installed during the CVS attempt and re-run myself through Jarod's Guide.  During this process, I upgraded everything from the 2.4.22-1.2188 kernel to the 2.4.22-1.2199 kernel and appropriate modules.  

All of the tests work (both audio and video) and I'm using his PVR350 modules.conf settings (The only change was my card address is 0b instead of 07 like his).  These settings worked for me in the past, but now I'm only seeing a flashing black cursor on my screen instead of the bold beautiful world of Myth that my wife and I have been enjoying for months.  This, coupled with the dev/dsp error that I hadn't ever seen before is causing me several grumpy days.

If someone could please help me with these issues it would be appreciated.  My apologies for the multiple posts on my progress, but the WAF is decreasing every day that this thing is not operational.

Josh
