Sparc Ultra 10 Sound Not Working

[i-right-i]

After an amount of thrashing by myself and a co-worker, we managed to get desktop KDE running on a couple of these old SUN Crates.

Now I am having one last issue and that is with the Sound device, oh and the Kicker crashes everytime on startup but that deal needs to be discussed in a differnt forum.

Anyway I am running 2.4.27 Kernel and I have the CS4231 Option built into the kernel. When KDE starts i get the following error:

Sound Server Fatal Error:
AudioSubSystem::handle IO: write failed
len= -1, can_write = 8192, errno = 11

So i clik ok to get past that and then I get this error

device /dev/dsp can't be opened

Thanks in advance for anyone that can give some help on this.

After goo gobs of time, I still have never been able to resolve this issue. I cannot find any information around this. It seems that the people that run into this issue are just plain screwed.

I am now using Sparc-Sources 2.4.31-sparc-r2.

I have cs4231 compliled in the kernel as well as Sound Card support. I have tried about a bazillion different combinations but they all give the same results.

I orginally tried this way back when in 2.4.27 sparc sources, and had the exact same issue.

Thanks in advance
