As the other guys has said, there a big chance that oss module is loaded. This happen not by any mistake, I really did not figured out why, but the default instalation of sarge comes with discover and hotplug enabled by default. So what happens? Discover is loaded first, it loads the oss module for sure. Once you install alsa-base, it puts all oss modules in /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsabase this prevents hotplug to load oss modules, but doesn't stop discover. you need to edit /etc/discover.conf and add: "disable pci" and discover will no load oss modules anymore, leaving the road free for alsa. Anyone can tell me why there is 2 daemon for autodetecting hardware? And both enable by default!? -- Miguel Di Ciurcio Filho Slackware 10 - Debian Sarge Linux Professional 102 ID 22833 Linux user # 347217 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
