This is my second thread regarding the trouble i get in my machine when
loading alsa-0.9.3a modules.
All seems to be correctly loaded (including OSS/Free emulation), the
alsamixer is unmuted...However i didn't succeed to get sound working in
applications that use OSS driver.
Even, after typing manually "modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe
snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss" i didn't get that compatibility
with applications that requires OSS. As a result GNOME remains desperatly
silent.
It's clear that alsa OSS free emulation doesn't work as it should be.
Something prevents applications to access OSS driver. To add more
difficulty to the situation, i didn't get any error message. I report
only the following warning when starting alsasound service :
-----------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start

My "lsmod" output is the following :

-----------------------------------
I used RedHat 9.0 and also Mandrake 9.0, kernels from the install CD distributions, ALSA 0.9.3a.
Any ideas on what might be the problem and how it could be solved ?
Best regards.
