Open Sound System

Hi I have a Compal IFL90 laptop with a Realtek ALC268 HD codec. Whenever I plug my headphones in, the built-in speakers stay on. I realize that the speakers and headphones are on two different channels and the only thing I have been able to do is manually disable the speakers in the mixer ($ ossmix ...

I just tried the official package for 4.0 build 1004, same problem. The computer rebooted almost immediately after I hit play on xmms trying to play a small mp3 file with only an xterm running inside of twm. I haven't been able to obtain any memory dumps...the computer just reboots immediately. I wa...

I still get the same type of crash with build 1003 on FreeBSD 6.2. Same ICH5 with an AD1888 AC97 codec. I built this version from the FreeBSD ports tree, but it shouldn't matter. I tried playing a song in xmms through vmix. It played a few seconds then everything froze - the sound stopped and the de...

I am running FreeBSD 6.2 (i386) with an Intel ICH5. The latest versions of OSS (including 4.0 build 1002) cause my computer to crash when playing audio through the vmix system. I have tried xmms, mplayer and amarok. Sound will play for a few seconds and then the crash will occur. This does not seem ...

In the KDE Control panel, I have had the best results with the following settings: Sound & Multimedia --> Sound System --> General Tab Uncheck the "Run with the highest possible priority" box --> Hardware Tab Set the "Select audio device" dropdown to Autodetect Check the "Use custom sampling rat...

Which version of KDE are you using? Noatun was broken in KDE 3.4.x but it works in 3.5.x.

The ruleset should be processed by the oss.sh startscript by calling: /sbin/devfs rule -s 200 applyset but this command only outputs: devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_SAPPLY: No such process This is because after adding the rules to /etc/devfs.rules , devfs need to be restarted so that it reparses the rul...

Check /etc/rc.local and make sure OSS didn't add the startup command in there. That's the only thing I can think of...if you are using my new script, it will not start unless it is told to.

You won't be able to adjust the mixer as a regular user until the correct permissions are applied. I forgot to mention that after you put the rules in /etc/devfs.rules , you need to restart devfs, e.g: # /etc/rc.d/devfs restart Devfs will now see the new rules that you added. After that, the script ...

Are you using the newest script that I posted a few days ago? Which version of FreeBSD are you using? The old script would run no matter what you called it as long as it was in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory. Renaming scripts to *.off will not keep them from running no matter what they are. If yo...

Of course there is. Click on the K Menu and "Control Center" is listed right on the menu.

If it's not there, open up a Konsole window and type: kcontrol

restart OSS

This might help you: http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2355#2355 Also, in the KDE Control Center, click on Sound System and the on the Hardware tab. Check the "Override device location" box and use an available virtual channel for the device. That will place aRts on its own virtual ch...

Just make a wrapper script to run soundon and change the permissions at the same time. Here's the one I use: http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=710

oss-install is not a shell script, it is an executable binary.

Run it like this:
