Sorry about my little rant there in the last post. This has been really frustrating. I installed alsa-oss, but for some reason it didn't load the modules. The post above from Jon Kåre Hellan asking if I needed to load modules was the key. I loaded snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss and it's working. I'm curious to know if the native oss drivers from http://www.opensound.com/ would work on this box (because they didn't on the GX110 that I had before), but not curious enough to tear apart my working setup to try it. The box I'm using now is a Dell Dimension 2400, and has the same audio hardware as the GX110. This worked using the source package for ntp as suggested by Steve Kostecke above. Then I installed the following packages: alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils alsa-tools alsaplayer-common alsaplayer- text and ran alsaconf to set up my sound card. It didn't work until I loaded the snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss modules as mentioned above. For reference, here's my ntp.audio0 file: time:~# cat /etc/ntp.audio0 idev /dev/audio cdev /dev/mixer source line agc line monitor line And my ntp.conf file: time:~# cat /etc/ntp.conf # /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd; see ntp.conf(5) for help driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift # Enable this if you want statistics to be logged. #statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/ statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable # You do need to talk to an NTP server or two (or three). #server ntp.your-provider.example # pool.ntp.org maps to about 1000 low-stratum NTP servers.
