Open Sound System

Aha, and I was just going to post again. Since I rebooted and.... no sound.
Hmmm... I guess there's probably no alternative but investing, then?

Thanks for the baby steps! I don't really know how or why, but it seems to have worked.
Cesium once again, you are a God amongst men and my favourite pyrophoric chemical element!

I know, weirds me out. How do I upgrade it again?
The Package manager indicates the the 2000 version is the latest, which is obviously not the case.

Osstest does emit sound, which is scary after several days of silence from my computer, but then it also comes out with this: Sound subsystem and version: OSS 4.2 (b 2000/200909092208) (0x00040100) Platform: Linux/i686 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:23:09 UTC 2010 *** Scanning sound ...

Ah, ok I got it. Tried it...
Sadly nothing works still.
And no program that has anything to do with sound works, Rhythmbox, VLC even skype...

A bit slower please... I'm far from adept.
How do i go around doing that?

Done and done. Installed both packages. Still, the same outcome.
And the device is marked as 'Unsupported' on gstreamer-properties.
How can this happen all of the sudden?

:shock: Hey Guys, I remember you helping me out with my OSS installation. Thanks for that. I've gotten myself into another issue though. Everything was working fine, but one day after a simple restart everything stopped. Totem stays on silent, Rhythmbox, requires 'gstreamer element autoaudiosinc' al...

Err, I wasn't talking about a repo. I planned on sslothzz testing a slightly patched OSS (this), If he has a problem (I'm not clear on that). I can't test a skype install, so me creating a skype package is probably not very useful. As for handbook - It's possible to edit the wiki in order to make a...

Nope, it's not that...

Thanks for bearing with me on this one, I have only recently found the light, so I am quite new to linux. Yes, the lspci -vv gives this output: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30cc Control: I/O- Mem+ ...

Hello, I have been on a long crusade to get the sound working on my laptop. I run a HP dv6000, with and Intel 82801H (ICH8 Family) Audio Controller. And it just doesn't seem like I can do anything about it... for ages. Of course my lack of technical knowledge might be a problem, but... this is just ...
