Here are (what appear to be) the relevant parts of lsmod output: via82cxxx_audio 21564 1 ac97_codec 13300 0 [via82cxxx_audio] uart401 6436 0 [via82cxxx_audio] sound 57480 0 [via82cxxx_audio uart401] soundcore 3940 4 [via82cxxx_audio sound] via-rhine 13200 1 via82cxxx 10856 1 (autoclean) I've got a Via motherboard w/ built-in sound card, so it looks like the right drivers are being loaded. I don't have alsa installed; not sure if libsdl qualifies as "having oss installed": [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l "*alsa*" | grep ii [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l "*oss*" | grep ii ii gstreamer-oss 0.6.4-5 OSS plugin for GStreamer ii libsdl1.2debia 1.2.7-7 Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 and OSS o I tried installing the alsa modules (alsa-modules-2.4.27-1-686), which triggered installation of alsa-utils and alsa-base. After reboot, ogg123 had very similar behavior (repeat 1st second of song, requires -9 to kill). I don't have any wav's or mp3's laying around, but when I open a flash presentation in firefox, firefox freezes and the first second of sound repeats over-and-over again... Are there any quirks to installing alsa? Are there more oss packages that I should try to install? Are there other sound drivers I should try?
