Full error message from sphinx2: "ad_oss.c(105): Failed to open audio device(/dev/dsp): No such file or directory FATAL_ERROR: "tty-continuous.c", line 219: ad_open_sps failed"
Please, don't restrict bugs without any reason. Just leave the checkboxes alone. Also not really clean whether you are using alsa-drivers or in-kernel ones. And attach /etc/modules.d/alsa as well please.
I looked into /etc/modules.d/alsa and found module responsible for /dev/dsp - snd-pcm-oss , when I modprobe'd it the /dev/dsp appeard. sphinx2 is working.
This is /etc/modules.d/alsa contents: # Alsa kernel modules' configuration file. # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore ## ## IMPORTANT: ## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s) ## and then run `modules-update' command. ## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info. ## ## ALSA portion ## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave ## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371 ## OSS/Free portion ## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 ## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 ## # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss ## OSS/Free portion - card #2 ## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss ## alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss ## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss # Set this to the correct number of cards. options snd cards_limit=1
Well, if you don't load the needed modules, you won't have the required devices. Closing.
