More on this sound thing... done a lot of digging, and found out that the SoundBlaster Live! series all use the emu10k1 driver EXCEPT the Live! 24 (the card I have). That one only works with the ca0106 driver. So SUSE is using the correct driver for this card. Loads more tinkering, and I can get the OSS sound working.. sort of. If I open YAST, Delete the sound card config, save and exit the YAST sound module, restart it.. add the sound card back in, I get full support for OSS (and ALSA) in all applications, But...but.. if I log out, I loose the OSS capability and I'm back where I started... no OSS support for any application that needs/uses it. repeat the delete, add thing with the sound card drivers, and it starts working again. This is so stupid... and frustrating... so VERY frustrating. Is this a dumb bug? Is it my hardware? It works perfectly in 10.1 and in Ubuntu 6.10 (on the same hardware)... it's only 10.2 that's giving me this grief. My /dev lineup is exactly the same in 10.1 and in Ubuntu 6.10... lsmod shows the exact same thing across the OSes. The only thing I haven't checked is the ca0106 driver I'm using.... I might try downgrading the driver to a previous version.... I'm open to any and all suggestions :-( C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
