I'm having a bit of trouble getting sound working on a new install (didn't have this problem in older releases)

I cd'd to /dev/ and did
MAKEDEV/audio

I get a series of messages
`mixer-' to `mixer': Operation not permitted
mv: cannot move `sequencer-' to `sequencer': Operation not permitted
mv: cannot move `midi00-' to `midi00': Operation not permitted

mv: cannot move `smtpe1-' to `smtpe1': Operation not permitted
mv: cannot move `midi2-' to `midi2': Operation not permitted

I then look and see that in /dev I'll have, for example, dsp-
However, there is no dsp

When I tried catting a sound to it for the heck of it, I get
/dev/dsp permission denied

Wondering if I've missed something obvious--support for the sound card is compiled, as a module, into the kernel and modprobe indicates that it's loaded.

I suspect I missed something obvious (devfs is in the kernel and turned on, if that's an issue, so would be grateful for a pointer.

TIA

Are you sure that you are root?

Never mind, fixed it. Sigh, I can't believe it sometimes, I hadn't cd'd to /dev before doing MAKEDEV--had a bunch of sound device files in my /root directory.

Sorry
Thanks

I have the same problem. And I've made sure I'm in /dev before running /usr/sbin/MAKEDEV audio.

I can get around it for now, by getting programs to use /dev/sound/dsp.

Any other thoughts?
