Hi All it seems that I somehow that the alsa isn't linking itself to the oss drivers I can load the drivers properly, do a lsmod to see the drivers and play mp3's but thats were it stops.
The problem is that no sound comes out of the speakers. I have set the amixer to 100% unmuted literally everything that has a output and still no sound out. To check it there is sound coming out of the speakers I, cat FILE > /dev/dsp or audio and sound of squeching comes out. my lsmod is as follows Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-pcm-oss 19040 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm-plugin 14864 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-mixer-oss 4736 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-cs4236 5440 0 snd-mpu401-uart 2432 0 [snd-card-cs4236] snd-rawmidi 9984 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3752 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd-cs4236 19936 0 [snd-card-cs4236] isa-pnp 29384 0 [snd-card-cs4236] snd-cs4231 18784 0 [snd-card-cs4236 snd-cs4236] snd-pcm 30880 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-cs4231] snd-mixer 24072 0 [snd-mixer-oss snd-cs4236 snd-cs4231] snd-opl3 4416 0 [snd-card-cs4236] snd-timer 8512 0 [snd-cs4231 snd-pcm snd-opl3] snd-hwdep 3072 0 [snd-opl3] snd 32544 1 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-card-cs4236 snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-cs4236 snd-cs4231 snd-pcm snd-mixer snd-opl3 snd-timer snd-hwdep] soundcore 3620 3 [snd] orinoco_cs 4392 1 orinoco 31424 0 [orinoco_cs] hermes 3616 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco] and my /etc/modutils/sound is alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs4236 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss ptions snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 options snd-card-cs4236 snd_port=0xf40 snd_cport=0xf00 snd_mpu_port=-1 snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_irq=7 snd_dma1=1 snd _dma2=3 snd_isapnp=0 I can only think that my configuration is incorrect. can someone send me a copy of their configuration to see what I am doing wrong.
