Hi, I tried the nV News forums but I got no replies yet, so I thought some of you here might have had the same problem I am having.
I am running Debian SID/unstable with kernel 2.6.9 and KDE 3.3. I have an Asus K8N-E Deluxe mobo with nForce3 250Gb. I installed the nVidia drivers just fine (too bad they are closed source), then used modconf to load the nvnet and nvsound modules. The nvnet one works just great (even after reboot). But I can't get my sound server up. aRts fails to start. When run from the command line, here is the output: >>>Start of paste<<< [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ artsd -l0 -F10 -S4096 artsd version is 1.3.1 gsl: using Unix98 pthreads directly for mutexes and conditions autodetecting driver: - oss: 10 - alsa: 0 - null: -1 - esd: -1 - jack: -1 - nas: -1 - toss: 4 ... which means we'll default to oss [artsd: 4680] SoundServerStartup --> got lock device capabilities: revision0 duplex realtime trigger mmap buffering: 64 fragments with 1024 bytes (audio latency is 341.3 ms) AudioIOOSS: failed prefilling audio buffer (might cause synchronization problems in conjunction with full duplex) virtualize StereoVolumeControl device capabilities: revision0 duplex realtime trigger mmap buffering: 64 fragments with 1024 bytes (audio latency is 341.3 ms) AudioIOOSS: failed prefilling audio buffer (might cause synchronization problems in conjunction with full duplex) audio format is 48000 Hz, 16 bits, 2 channels addDirectory(/usr/lib/mcop,) addDirectory(/usr/lib/mcop/Arts,Arts) addDirectory(/usr/lib/mcop/Arts/Environment,Arts::Environment) addDirectory(/usr/lib/mcop/Noatun,Noatun) addDirectory(/home/ib/.mcop/trader-cache,) Arts::MidiManager registered successfully.

However, the error is still the same. I couldn't find anything in the aRts FAQs about this. I looked in dmesg and the Nvsound module is loaded just fine. I made sure that the OSS modules are built into the kernel as I build my own custom kernels. Where can I make sure the right driver is loaded for the sound device? Any ideas where the problem might come from? Thx, ib __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
