It looks like everything that ought to have loaded has loaded. (I had to run some oss utilities to get the oss modules to load, but that's the way it should work.) It might help to add some oss minor device assignments, as you did, but I think I'll pass on that combinatoric search problem for the moment. The modules.conf setup described in alsa-driver/INSTALL is working fine on my other machine for both the alsa and the oss emulation devices. > 2. I made sure I build the OSS compatability The OSS compatability is there. I build everything and debug=full. > 3. Using nothing more than aumix with the OSS compatability, > I can play whatever I want. Hmm, aumix can't change the levels of the Digital lines which are pegged at max value. It can change the other lines, but none of them need changing. The gnome mixer pretends to change the Digital levels, but they're still pegged at max value when I go back and look again. And amixer now claims to have set them back to 49%, but they still show 100% in aumix and gnome mixer. Alsactl also thinks they're at 8000. $ amixer sget 'Digital',0 Simple mixer control 'Digital',0 Capabilities: cvolume pswitch Playback channels: Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 16383 Front Left: Capture 8000 [49%] Front Right: Capture 8000 [49%] $ amixer sget 'Digital',1 Simple mixer control 'Digital',1 Capabilities: cvolume pswitch Playback channels: Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 16383 Front Left: Capture 8000 [49%] Front Right: Capture 8000 [49%] The capabilities reported for these channels are rather odd, too, assuming that 'cvolume' means 'capture volume' and 'pswitch' means 'playback switch'.
