In fact, I didn't have OSS support in the kernel. Now I compiled it in (as a module), but I get the same error. Here is the relevant lsmod output. sound 59244 0 (unused) snd-intel8x0 11712 0 (unused) snd-pcm 54784 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 10816 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 26816 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-mpu401-uart 3296 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 13664 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 4396 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd 27304 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] soundcore 3844 2 [sound snd] I had to `modprobe sound` manually, as `modprobe snd-intel8x0` doesn't cause sound.o to load. All of this is strange because when I briefly tried Mandrake 9.0, the sound worked (somehow). Thanks Oleg
