Hi, I tried Zain's suggestion but that does not fix the issue, unfortunately. Best regards, Troels Therkelsen Zain Alam wrote: Try a: sudo modprobe snd-seq-oss in the terminal. I had this problem earlier (though it didn't freeze), but I have a SoundBlaster Live! LS card, so I don't know if it'll work for you.

What sound system are you using, and what kind of hardware? -Matt Bailey On Thursday 12 May 2005 06:42, Troels Therkelsen set 1,000 monkies in front of keyboards and came up with the following: Thanks for the quick reply; you are right, it is the mixer device init which is hanging. Knowing how snafu sound on Linux is, it will probably be very hard to trace this one down. Got any ideas how to do that? Thanks, Troels Therkelsen Hangs at trying to open /dev/dsp0 in write-only mode like you. I'm using ALSA and stuff like xmms works just fine. Card: Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Chip: SigmaTel STAC9750/51 IOW, I'm using your average run-of-the-mill AC'97 compatible hardware which should be very, very common. I know I have some problems with other stuff, like the SoundScope plugin for gkrellm, so the SDL stall probably is due to a misconfiguration of my sound setup, but I just can't see what it is.
