[dundee] problems

[Keir Lawson]

typing grep /dev/dsp simply freezes the console(i pressed control z to abort). i have managed to recreated the circumstances where my sound worked in games:  i loaded up xmms (oss sound plugin) and played an ogg.  there was no sound out of the speakers but the visulizations still worked as if their was sound.  whilst the ogg was still "playing" i opened up tuxracer and the sound worked perfectly!  however after closing down xmms and restarting tux racer the sound stopped working again.  the case was the same for frozen bubble.  as for the poweroff command the computer still restarted.  im prety shure its not and os problem but either a bios or hard ware problem.

thanks
