I use the standard kernel drivers, which I think are OSS. My /usr/src/linux/.config (2.4.19) looks like: CONFIG_SOUND=m CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m CONFIG_SOUND_DMAP=y CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=m CONFIG_SOUND_OPL3SA2=m I use modules, since if the drivers are compiled straight in the kernel, I find they don't restart after a suspend/resume cycle. I also define /etc/modutils/sound as: 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=1 loopback=0 post-install opl3 /usr/bin/aumix -L options sound dmabuf=1 See kernel/Documentation/sound/README.modules and elsewhere for more documentation. The "post-install opl3 /usr/bin/aumix -L" line sets the mixing levels using aumix. You may find there are other ways of setting these lines, these settings Work For Me. Run update-modules after defining /etc/modutils/sound, so /etc/modules.conf is updated.
