Summary: Sound does Not Work on IBM ThinkPad T41 and LiveCD
013
Description:
When I boot up the LiveCD ver 013, I receive the following message when KDE
boots up:
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
When I do a "lsmod", it appears that the right sound modules are being
loaded.

I tried alsaconf which successfully ran and said the soundcard was
configured. But I still get the message can't find /dev/dsp etc and there
is still no sound.

Can you attach the outputs from 'lspci' and 'lsmod'?

I am having the same issue on an IBM Thinkpad T23 running GoboLinux 014.

Can you try to 'modprobe snd-pcm-oss' and 'modprobe snd-mixer-oss' before
launching the X server?
Could you please try to test this in the latest 014 snapshot as well? You
can find the latest version here: http://gobolinux.org/?page=downloads
Thanks!

After installing the modules suggested, /dev/snd now looks like this:
root at betelgeuse /Users/kc5tja]ls /dev/snd
adsp audio controlC0 dsp mixer pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1c timer
so, that's progress at least! :)
However, Nothing in /dev/ appears, even after manually restarting udev.
So, I manually created symbolic links, and chmod 666'ed all the audio
devices.
Now, KDE's control center detects the sound, BUT, I still can't hear
anything. I notice that not only is kmix not installed, there is no recipe
for it. Bad! kmix is the best mixer for Linux, period. (It properly
handles SB Audigy, when no other mixer program even sees it.)
