[mythtv-users] ALSA Problem?

[Scott Pouliot]

/dev/adsp and /dev/snd/adsp aren't valid devices on my box.  /dev/dsp and
/dev/dsp0 are though...I've tried em both.

Someone else mentioned that kernel 2.6 has built in ALSA support...not sure
if that will help or hurt my cause here though.

Change your output device to /dev/adsp instead of /dev/dsp  (It may be
/dev/snd/adsp )

You may benefit from upgrading to a current kernel
(2.4.23) instead of the current RedHat kernel.  There were some updates to
the soundcore module.
