I was able to create the dsp files in /dev without a script or MAKEDEV as follows:

mknod dsp0 c 14 3
mknod dsp1 c 14 19
rm dsp [there was an old incorrect file so I could not make a symlink]
ln -s dsp0 dsp
chmod +x dsp*

The files are root root, not root sys. Will this change itself or cause problems and if so what do I do about it?
The old audio1 is root sys, and the new audio0 is root root.
My index does not list mknod.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Once I figure out how to change root to sys, I will try playing wav files again after rebooting with bare.i kernel, and then create /dev/mixer, which another site says is the only thing you need besides /dev/dsp to just play sound.

rm audio
mknod audio0 c 14 4
ln -s audio0 audio
chmod +x audio*

mknod mixer c 14 0
mknod mixer1 c 14 16
chmod +x mixer*

The numbers are major and minor numbers.

For anyone using this posting as a reference the numbers are:
mknod midi00 c 14 2
.... midi01 c 14 18
midi02 14 34
midi03 14 50
music 14 8
patmgr0 14 17
patmgr1 14 33
sequencer 14 1
sndstat 14 6

ln -s /dev/music sequencer2

You need other files to use the PC speaker sound driver.


Can I or modify these files manually to match what is in the book (plus adding the column with sys)? Looks like I need to assign root, sys, and two numbers and a name. I have the list of what they should be (on the other computer). Or I suppose I could plug in an ESS SOLO card and run esssolo1.o and maybe that will make the files for me. Might have been what miraculously helped someone else who was experimenting with this.
