Open Sound System

Try replacing virt_to_bus function in osscore.c with virt_to_phys. Yep. That did it. Seems to be working alright with kernel 6.1. Came across this same solution on a 10 year old post on stackoverflow.com and for some reason managed to quickly dismiss it as also deprecated in favor of dma_map_single...

Thanks for the quick patch! Was wondering about that one warning though $ sudo soundon OSS not loaded. Relinking OSS kernel modules for "5.18.0-4mx-amd64 SMP preempt mod_unload modversions " This may take few moments - please stand by... OSS build environment set up for REGPARM kernels Bui...

JACK Audio Connection Kit https://jackaudio.org/ . There are two versions of JACK. Jack1 is the older version which supports OSS on linux and is on bugfix-only maintenance mode. Jack2 is the actively worked on and maintained version which supports OSS only on FreeBSD. Some software apparently have c...

Yes! I use it on two different setups with some M-Audio Envy24 based PCI sound cards. On MX Linux I compile the drivers just for oss_envy24 and manually blacklist the ALSA drivers by creating a blacklist-file with the ALSA modules in /etc/modprobe.d/ On Ubuntu the latter step used to be much easier ...

Thanks, Clive. That patch seems to have fixed the issue.

Tested with kernel versions 5.14 and 5.15. Version 5.10 works and apparently so does 5.11 since the latest patches were specifically for that version, so the culprit could be somewhere between versions 5.12-5.14. There were no packages for the EOL versions 5.12 or 5.13 on the MX repositories so thos...

Seems like the patch hasn't been added to Firefox in three years time and the bug report is still open. So I'd guess it doesn't work then. Shame. I circumvent the lack of features in Firefox like OSS support and hardware accelerated video by using mpv media player with the Open With extension. Mpv c...

Yes for patch, yes for -fno-PIE instead of -fno-pic, and yes for both -fno-pic and -fno-PIE.
