Hi Stuart,
If audio was working before on Solaris b55 was that with or without OSS
packages?
If it was without the OSS package on b55, did audio work before you installed
OSS?
I'm not using OSS myself at the moment, but if audio was working on b55 (without
OSS) and wasn't on b66, I think that's a bug in the driver and should be
probably mentioned on the driver-discuss alias and see if they can shed some
light on it.
As for the OSS work, it would probably be best to give the information below to
the people at 4FrontTechnologies, there is a Solaris forum at:
http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4
Thanks,
Darren.
