Re: [SOLVED]ESS Technology ES1983S Maestro-3i sound

Upgrade error solved, found a link.  Below is the code.

rm /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm

Sound problem is a permission issue because root can hear sounds.  I may have to reply again if I can't figure what files to change the permissions for normal user.

Fixed permission issue.

chmod a+rw /dev/dsp* /dev/mix* /dev/seq*

If there is a better way please let me know. 

Thanks
