How do you get rid of the OSS SOUND being forced upon you in make menuconfig?
Is this some clever ploy by OSS to force everyone to buy their drivers?
Yes. I miss the old drivers as well.
Juergen and zentara, I'm haven't made the transition yet to 2.2.*, I'm still with 2.0.36 but my experience was that the alsa driver was easier to set up and produced much better sound than the sound I compiled into the kernel. My card is a Creative Ensoniq with ES1371 chipset. I've read on the alsa-users list accounts of people installing the alsa driver because of the poor quality of the sound with the new 2.2._ kernels. I don't remember if there were postings for all 2.2.* kernels. The alsa driver is fully oss-compatible for all the sound cards it supports and is Open Source. If you haven't done so already, check out the home page at alsa.jcu.cz to see if your cards are supported. The alsa-users mailing list archive at the same address is also a great resource for troubleshooting purposes.
