I wasn't talking about the audio GROUP, I was talking about the audio /dev entries.
Sorry, I didn't mean to say OSS (I'm still in Awe64 land) I meant the kernel driver
as opposed to ALSA.
It would seem you need to follow the second part of my first mail if cat /dev/sndstat
Go (as root)
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV audio
Like I said. Then check cat /dev/sndstat after a reboot.
I trust you are running slink? In potato, the audio devices (which is NOT the same
as the audio group) are created automatically. Not so in slink.
