I have Basilisk II working on a Raspberry PI 2 model B but I don't get any sound. Sound works in Mini vMac but I like having color and Basilisk II runs from the command line easily. The .basilisk_ii_prefs has dsp /dev/dsp and mixer /dev/mixer but I don't have either of these device files. I also tried on a Model B+ and didn't have any sound on that pi either. I tried using /dev/snd (because that device file existed on the pi) for the dsp setting but that didn't work either. What am I missing?

Basilisk II on Raspberry PI has no sound

Re: Basilisk II on Raspberry PI has no sound
I do not claim to know anything about this, I am fairly clueless in fact, but I do have sound in Basilisk and FWIW my Basilisk prefs on BOTH Mac OSX and Raspberry Pi 2 (RetroPie) have
dsp /dev/dsp
& NOT dsp /dev/snd
Good luck

Re: Basilisk II on Raspberry PI has no sound
I had just tested /dev/snd and it didn't work but that was the .basilisk_ii_prefs file I listed in the post. I am back to /dev/dsp and it still doesn't work. I tried downloading RetroPie and I get the same result, sound works in minivMac but not in BasiliskII. I only have new Raspberry PI 2s I don't know if they changed something that breaks Basilisk II or not but I can't get sound to run on the PI 2 or the B+ that I bought last month. I have been doing Linux since the 90's and Raspberry PIs since they came out so I am not a complete noobie, but I just can't figure out what is wrong. Still looking, thanks for the tip.

Re: Basilisk II on Raspberry PI has no sound
What happens if you output to a file or stdout instead of a virtual device? is any useful data emitted from BII? This would at least let you know if the problem lies within BII or within your DSP.
Re: Basilisk II on Raspberry PI has no sound
OK I pulled a noobie error, the sound was working, it was my app that did play sound properly. The Basilisk II program doesn't play the start up beep so I assumed the sound wasn't working because my app didn't play sound either. If I go to the Sound control panel I could play the alert sounds. D'oh. Mini vMac uses an older ROM and my apps sound only works with the older ROM. Thanks for the responses, and I'm sorry I wasted everybody's time.
