First Cup of Ubuntu
Re: Hardy 8.04 & OSS4 (Alternative to ALSA)
I did some extra commands to get rid of OSS4 (Source)Originally Posted by Temüjin
and add the OSS modules to the blacklistCode:sudo sh /usr/lib/oss/scripts/restore_drv.sh
If really everything is misconfigured and nothing works try the hard way:Code:sudo cat /lib/linux-sound-base/noOSS.modprobe.conf >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Code:sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r)

Re: Hardy 8.04 & OSS4 (Alternative to ALSA)
Hello again,
I made it through all of the instructions... but...
sudo soundon causes a system crash.
So, clearly OSS is not running.Code:ossinfo No /dev/mixer device available in your system. Perhaps Open Sound System is not installed or running.

Hi,
I installed oss4.1 following the instructions and sound works awesome in my system. I have a lenovo y530 and all the speakers are now roaring with full volume
However, I haven't got my microphone to work. I basically want to be able to use skype. I tried ossrecord, audacity no sound is being recorded
Here are the various info that may help to figure out what might be wrong with my setup

Thankful for This Title
Arun,
I think you'll get more help on this subject at the OSS4 forum
Make sure you did this step right:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Op...on%20KDE%204.x
Also: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty...tatic-oss.html

Thanks! I will give it a shot.
I am sure I did the step right. I am now on windows (due to a different problem with my internet in Linux)
Will come back to you soon.
Cheers,
Arun

I must agree that I didn't do that step carefully.
For my audio output, I could succesfully choose oss as the preferred over alsa
However in audio input, I don't see any devices. This is a cause for concern isn't it?
Thanks,
Arun

Hello Temüjin,
You'll not remember me, but I've been attempting to install oss nearly 1 year ago (you've been very helpful in my thread on how to get rid of the failed installation back then).
Now, after my Alsa system has blown in my face some 4 weeks ago, I've finally decided to give it another shot, since I couldn't get Alsa back to work. After getting the latest hg repository release and following the steps exactly on the help.ubuntu.com page, as you suggested, OSS is up and running!
Mplayer is working fine, both in Firefox and as a standalone (just had to switch settings to oss), also Flashplayer 10 is working neatly, after applying the libflashsupport patch.
The only thing that wont budge, is to have my Maudio card (standard now) working along with my ADI onboard chip (Intel for real? Deactivated in BIOS now), as it wouldn't with Alsa. I'd like to have the opportunity to select the desired sound output per application, e.g. headset via onboard for ekiga or the likes, while playing music with my superior sound card...
perhaps you've got an idea?
Thanks for your competent hints so far!

perixx,
Are you using Xubuntu 8.04 as your signature indicates? If so, make sure you have the right oss plugins to make ekiga work:
Enable your onboard audio and then post the output of ossinfo.Code:sudo apt-get install libpt-1.10.10-plugins-oss libsdl1.2debian-oss sudo apt-get remove libpt-1.10.10-plugins-alsa libsdl1.2debian-alsa
