Hi,
Way back when I started with Linux, I thought setting up awe32 sound on a 2.0.* was a real hard task. I finally master how to do it, and it ran fine. Easy...insmod sound...rmmod sound.
my experiments in the old days never ended up with modules, I got it only working direct in the kernel
Now all of a sudden, in the new 2.2.* kernels, the "easy" OSSFREE drivers are forced on us.
I just went thru the sound docs and to get the damn thing to work I need these commands
insmod soundcore insmod soundlow insmod sound insmod uart401 insmod sb
oss is started with the "soundon" and "stopped" with soundoff command. Is it possible that you are doing it "by hand"? Of course, it wont work with my setup. A cuple of devices is recognised on my card (cat /dev/sndstat) but not *THE* audio thing. No matter what I do or device drivers I select.
and I have to specify module parameters in conf.modules. And there are just as many to remove them.
What's even worse...it sounds like CRAP.
IŽd be happy to get sofar. ;-))
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.
