I compiled and installed the sox-12.16pre4 util. When the sndconfig tries to play
the sound of Linus pronouncing "Linux" it gives me an error about ossdsp device
unknown or something.
Mark.....I checked the contents of /proc/pci and sure enough the kernel does see the
PCI sound card. So at least it knows it's there.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.
