Hi I am having some problem with my sound system on my laptop. I am really confuse between OSS and ALSA I would like to use ALSA rather than OSS but for some reason I only have the OSS running (when looking at the gnome sounds applet it says OSS..)
I see the following when typing lspci (just put the relevant part) ------------------ 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8385 [K8T800 AGP] Host Bridge (rev 01) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8237 PCI bridge [K8T800 South] 0000:00:11.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 ISA Bridge 0000:00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06) 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) 0000:00:11.6 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Intel 537 [AC97 Modem] (rev 80) --------------------- Now I have in the modules.conf alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore options snd-via82xx dxs_support=4 options snd-via82xx ac97_quirk=0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd major=116 cards_limit=1 when using esound from gnome i have a very weird noise all the time. when using the sounds recorder I get "can't write to /dev/dsp" When using OSS with XMMS it works but esound and ALSA don t seem to work what am I missing? why is my /dev/dsp not writable (I did not created it.. was done by the system)? Any help would be appreciated. I have looked at the alsa project but could not find any help Manu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
