Dear All,We share the same via 8233 sound chip and AC97 codec, I have M9.0 on and
I have been the one trying to get sound working with ALSA and it just has been no go, so now I am trying to get my commercial OSS working. I have LM9. OSS installs fine but whenever I try the soundtest it starts up for a few seconds and I hear it but then abrubtly stops and hangs there doing nothing till I kill it. After that if I try to run soundoff I get device busy errors. I then go to webmin and see that the processses are stuck, so I kill them. Then I am able to start the test again and the same thing happens over and over.
Do I need to get rid of alsa completely to get OSS working right? If I do, how do I do that? I read somewhere that one has to recompile their kernel without sound support in order to get OSS working. Is this true?
Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,
Marcia
still have alsa with aRts enabled with the one exception of xcdroast
where I have to disable aRts in order to have sound in xcdroast, but
then have to reenable aRts to have system and most other things
I'm not saying you need the same, just that this is my experience.
