This usually means that there was a configuration problem of some sort that kept the audio control applet from accessing /dev/audio. If I recall correctly, this might be because the old sound driver is still loading. What I don't know is which driver yours was using so I can recommend adding it to the /etc/system file. ... > /dev/oss/ich0/spdout (audio engine 6): Nvidia nForce4 S/PDIF out > - Performing audio playback test... > <left> OK <right> OK <stereo> OK <measured srate 47992.00 Hz (-0.02%)> > > #### Here I hear no sound at all The above isn't surprising given that is the S/PDIF output test. This is likely attempting to test the digital audio out line from your sound device. I would guess that you have your speakers hooked up through an analogue connection. You can ignore this part unless you are using the digital out on your sound device and expect sound. You might try posting on the OSS forums on opensound.com.
