Sound on G4 tower, almost

[Dave Ray]

Well, my /dev/mixer devices seem okay:

> cd /dev; ls -l mix*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            6 Feb 26
2001 mixer -> mixer0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     17        14,   0 Oct  4
2000 mixer0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     17        14,  16 Oct  4
2000 mixer1
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     17        14,  32 Oct  4
2000 mixer2
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     17        14,  48 Oct  4
2000 mixer3

The syslog messages that I posted previously do show
some errors when loading dmasound_pmac. I'm wondering
if those errors are related to the symptoms. Any help
appreciated.

/dev/mixer1 instead of /dev/mixer0 (which /dev/mixer
should either be a symlink pointing to, or a dev node
with the same major/minor numbers). What does your
/dev/mixer look like? It shuld be major 14, minor 0.
Check /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt for all
the major/minor numbers for devices (including sound
devices).
