Hi Vester, To use alsa-sound you don't need to configure the oss either as module or build-in while you build your kernel image. It was documented in the alsa-driver-0.5.10b.tar.bz2 package. Just configure the sound support in module or build-in, then compile your kernel as usual. If oss was build as module there will be a soundcore.o file in your /lib/modules/... directory.
I don't know whether this helps or not. I am scared to provide infos', since I am still a newbie. yours, Sherab > >i'm using a vaio notebook with a yamaha ymf-754 soundcard on >debian/testing. i compiled the >kernel with CONFIG_SOUND CONFIG_SOUND_OSS and CONFIG_SOUND_YMFPCI as >modules (i know that the last one is the correct module for my soundcard, >because it worked with my old suse system) and succesfully loaded the >modules -- however i didn't hear sound with xmms > >since i used alsa drivers in my old suse configuration i apt-get installed >alsaconf...but alsa doesn't detect my soundcard automatically, so i >selected it myself which didn't work either. the alsa script gives me the >following output: > >Starting ALSA sound driver (version none):modprobe: Can't locate module >snd > no driver installed > >what can i do to make sound work? i don't particularly need to use alsa -- >i just want to have the soundcard working anyway i can! > >thanks! > >vester > > > > >-- >To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >with a subject of "unsubscribe".
