Sounds promising :) But if you have to stick with the OSS drivers, there was a thread on debian-laptop a couple of weeks ago, which described the options Opl3sa2 might need, along with a bug fix for the module in 2.4.2. > > > > gom ERROR: Can't open mixer device special file "/dev/mixer": No such > > gom: device.

Are you a member of the audio group? Apart from that, and the discussions in the thread I mentioned above, I also had to add to /etc/modutils/sound (ie to /etc/modules.conf): alias char-major-14 opl3sa2 post-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" "opl3" alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2 alias synth0 opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options -k opl3sa2 isapnp=0 io=0x538 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=1 \ dma2=0 ymode=2 loopback=0 [this and the previous line is all one line] post-install opl3 /usr/bin/aumix -L I guess it might be the first of these lines that most concerns your problem.
