Yes, that is what first did before starting this thread. It gave nothing.

However, if I select OSS from KDE's sound settings dialog box, I still get audio though it appears it is not using Alsa anymore (my alsa specific options are ignored).

Here is what i have: $> ls /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-686/kernel/sound/oss/ ac97_codec.ko aedsp16.ko mpu401.ko pas2.ko sb.ko sound.ko trident.ko uart401.ko v_midi.ko ad1848.ko kahlua.ko opl3.ko pss.ko sb_lib.ko sscape.ko trix.ko uart6850.ko And looks like none of this is being used: $> for f in /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-686/kernel/sound/oss/*; do k=`echo $f | sed -e 's/.*\/\(.*\)\.ko/\1/'`; lsmod | grep -w $k; done $> -- Please reply to this list only.
