when I try to play an mp3 file it gives me this message
Code:

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.


my current soundcard is:

Compaq Audio: ......................................... ESS Allegro Audio
Dolby Digital Surround Sound (AC3)
JBL VirtualTheater (V-MAX)
Aureal A3D 360o Positional Sound
FM Synthesis

I also realize that their is a maestro3 module for my sound card, but im not quite sure where/how to install it so it will recognize the module...

What sound server are you using and with what program are you playing the MP3's?

Please modify the subject of the thread to add a [solved] tag. This will help other people to not read this thread for no reason. Thanks.
