Hardy 8.04 & OSS4 (Alternative to ALSA)

Reverting to ALSA
If, for some reason, you want to go back to ALSA, here is the procedure: (I tested this myself on my test system)

sudo soundoff
sudo dpkg -r oss-linux
sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base
sudo apt-get -y install libesd-alsa0 alsa-oss alsa-base libsdl1.2debian-alsa
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

The preceding command opens your blacklist file in the text editor. Delete all the lines from "blacklist snd-seq" down to the end of the file (make sure the last line in the file refers to a snd module and was not added by another program).
Restart the PC.
Now, re-install ALSA kernel modules with this script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820959
Go to System -> Preferences -> Sounds and select Autodetect or ALSA
Any applications that you configured for OSS should be changed back to ALSA, although they should work with the alsa-oss wrapper.

Optionally, you can setup and configure PulseAudio. I have no experience with this, but I have seen guides for it (use search). If you do, remember to install the Pulse-compatible libflashsupport package:

sudo apt-get install libflashsupport

Error #1:

sudo soundoff

This produced an error. It was loaded in mixer_applet or something, of which I killed with killall mixer_applet, which inturn gave me an error that the sound applet had crashed and wanted to know if it should be restarted. I said no.


Error #2:

 sudo dpkg -r oss-linux
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove oss-linux which isn't installed.

I have haphazardly continued despite these bumps and not managed to get alsa back up and running. I will keep tinkering, perhaps we can come up with a solution. I noticed that Oss is still loading on boot, surely a result of not removing it (see error #2).

sudo dpkg -r oss-linux only works if you installed it with a .deb package. If you installed it from a source tarball or with mercurial/hg, you have to run:

sudo soundoff
sudo sh /<directory where you installed the source>/setup/Linux/removeoss.sh

Duuuuuh. I guess I should have figured that out! lol I had followed the instructions in your sig for installation which is the installation from source, or marcial. Thanks for that helpful little piece of info!

Well, I certainly don't consider myself a newbie in Linux, but I really feel like it lately. I can't seem to fix my alsa problem at all. I have built, re-built and installed from source alsa, and can't seem to get my sound back. I'm starting too look at a re-install, and I will quit touching my sound and just use it half working as it is. I just don't have the time to keep messing around with this. My frustration is really my lack of knowledge. I purged every alsa package I could find on my machine, and then installed them again, all to no avail. Really quite amazing this sound setup. I will leave that stuff to the alsa boys from now on. It is over my head. Thanks for the help with this!

See that's the problem with alsa, it's complicated and broken, not to mention the sound quality is like a crystal radio compared to OSS4.

The problem you had with applications not working is because some apps have completely dropped support for OSS, but the apps that rely on a quality sound API and are truly cross platform still have full support for OSS.

Now witness the layer, upon layer, upon layer of band aids being applied to alsa to make it work, ie pulse audio.

Visit the OSS4 forums, the guys there are very helpful at solving your OSS problems, you won't get the same help from the alsa people!

Yes, I probably should have went over and fixed the issues with OSS on my box, but ... I re-installed. When they quit applying the bandaids, I will switch over to OSS. I just use my sound too much to have to mess around with it. I will give it another go because not everything works correctly on my computer. It will have to be later when I have a little more time.

Hmm... I'm trying to fix my broken OSS install [EDIT: sorry, I mean I already removed it, and am not trying to fix it — wrote fast and got tangled] and revert to ALSA (see my previous post from last night), running a root console in recovery mode. I already did dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base, i.e. changed back to ALSA like a good boy. But for some reason, I cannot fetch the packages from the repos on my laptop (yes, I have a wired connection). This is pretty much a basic newbie question (I am a novice, anyway), but how do I use the LiveCD to fetch the relevant Intrepid 64-bit ALSA packages from there? I mean, I suppose I should add a variable to apt-get install <here should be a variable, I think?>, but I don't know which variable.

As it comes to the reasons why I tried to change to OSS, I suppose I'll just try to live with MPD's outrageously high CPU footprint in ALSA from now on... OSS seems to be out of the question.

POST'S PREVIOUS CONTENT DELETED, since after I edited the blacklist file as suggested, the Furies screeching at me were stifled (I mean the feedback-like noise that started as soon as certain modules are loaded [I hope my terms are correct], already before the GDM screen came up), and now I have also installed the suggested packages. Now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the next move to get my ALSA back...

DARN! (10 mins later...) I rejoiced too early about the hell-hounds being stifled. I could log in ONCE without the screeching, but after installing the packages I rebooted and it started again. Now — its being day-time — I could also wait for a moment before hard-resetting (or rather while waiting Ctrl-Alt-del to take effect, but it took so long I finally hard-reset) and realized that it's indeed a feedback sound: the Compaq 6735S has an internal microphone in the front and when I pressed the tiny mic hole the pitch and volume of the horrible noise changed a bit.

What to do now? I'm a confused ignorant dilettante, as you can see...

SO, is there a way to at least disable the microphone for the time being? I.e. a boot parameter or something like that?
