Ok, you're using the OSS modules > via82cxxx 10856 1 (autoclean) > This is for the IDE chipset (notice the dependence on ide-core).

The size of > via82cxxx_audio differs and Knoppix doesn't use via82cxxx. The size discrepency is most likely due to differing kernel versions. What kernel are you using in Sarge?

If I had to guess, it's your sound server. Do you have one running (esound, arts, etc?)? If you stop your sound server, then quit all applications which use sound (like your mixer, if it's running), you can unload the module. There's no reason to do this, however, unless you want to run Alsa instead. First things first, though. Let's get OSS running before you switch. > In case it's useful, here's the output of ogg123 (looks the same for > both Debian and Knoppix): > > Audio Device: OSS audio driver output > > Playing: ogg/king_crimson/sleepless_the_concise_king_crimson/red.ogg > Ogg Vorbis stream: 2 channel, 44100 Hz > Title: Red > Artist: King Crimson > Genre: 17 > Date: 1993 > Album: Sleepless (The Concise King Crimson) > > Any help would be much appreciated! > > Thanks, > > Jason Hmm, the above output would seem to suggest that ogg123 is actually working.
