Very Computer

Can't seem to find the /dev/dsp and /dev/audio support in 2.2.1 kernel.
Has this been depreciated and can anyone send me some URLS on how to
configure these devices now?

Thanks

Wade

Right after I posted a similar problem I see your post.  I can compile
in sound support, and /dev/audio and /dev/dsp sort of work, but I
can't get them to support mulaw encoding (which used to be the
default, I think).

If you get answers, could you post 'em here?

Thanks,

For sound in the 2.2 kernel series, in make *config,
enter M for sound support.

Then modularize every type of sound support you want.

Then rebuild.

You should check the readme's in /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound
They are much more comprehensive than in previous kernels,
and will in general include a script for whatever type of
sound card you have.

The linux sound support was designed NOT to be built into
the kernel.

Yup, that's exactly what I did.  And I didn't get mulaw encoding enabled.

I've read as many relevant ones as I could find.  Only two of the doc
files mention ulaw and those are ex1370 and sonicvibes.  Neither of
them support it.  Do you know if the Soundblaster supports it?  It
used to.

Hmm.  If you say so.  I certainly works that way if you want it to.  I
don't particularly want it to.

Thanks for the advice,
