Hello, I have OpenSolaris 2009.06 running on VirtualBox 3.0.8 with Mac OS X 10.5.8 host. I've tried for a week with no success to get sound to work in this system. I've followed the instructions to remove the original audiohd drivers and replace it with OSS from this blog entry:
http://blogs.sun.com/constantin/entry/how_to_get_audio_to After installing OSS, ossdetect and osstest both works well, but there is still a big red slash across the sound volume icon. When I click it it still says "The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured." Someone suggest it might be a permissions issue with /dev/audio and /dev/audioctl, so I tried to do this: pfexec chmod 0666 /dev/audio* After logging off and back on, the red slash disappeared and I was able to adjust volume, etc. But I still got no sound! (no system sounds, music players no sounds, etc.) I tried rebooting and now the slash is back! Any help would be appreciated! P.S. As a newbie to OpenSolaris, what's the difference between Boomer and OSS? Should I try to replace OSS with Boomer? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
