Hello. I´m pretty noobish and hope someone can help me through this.
I recently installed UbuntuStudio 8.04 64-bit edition.
Initially I had no sound at all.
I followed this tutorial:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780961&highlight=ossxmix+mixers
and installed OSS.
That enabled most audio functions such as system sounds and rythmbox.
VLC still wouldn´t play audio, but totem would, so that was OK.
Then one day my soundcard (M-audio 2496) stopped loading on startup and when I followed instructions on the forum to load in manually, I heard a pop on the speakers, but still could get no noises in the sound preferences and tests.
When I try and load the mixer with the ossxmix command in terminal, it says 'no mixers are available'.
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions, other than a full reinstall.
Should I just go back to alsa and try to get it to work? The OSS tutorial required blacklisting alsa modules. How do I undo that?
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks
