Just instaleld OSS4 and have several issues

[Lockheed]

I just intalled OSS4, replacing annoying ALSA. However, there are several problems.

1. Sound works only with VLC and flash. It does not work in mplayer, Virtualbox etc.

I tried switching devices from ALSA to OSS in Sound control panel, but it didn't change anything.

2. When I plug in my headphones, the sounds is still coming from both headphones and laptop speakers. How can I make it right? I think I tried all the switches in ossxmix but at best, I would have to manually mute speakers every time I plug in the headphone jack.

Virtualbox has an ALSA/OSS option in the audio setup of a virtual machine. Have you tried OSS?

Thanks, that worked.

However, I still do not have jacksense, recording and if I close the screen lid, mic and speakers go into sync and laptop starts beeping like a banshee.

Can you paste here output of "ossmix" and of "ossinfo -v3"?

[Lockheed]

Naturally.

Try this:

Code: Select all

ossmix jack.fp-black.mode input
ossmix jack.black.mode input
ossmix misc.mix fp-mic

And then test recording with

Code: Select all

ossrecord - | ossplay -

(should give an echo). If that command doesn't work, try

Code: Select all

ossrecord -d4 - | ossplay -

instead.

Hmm, after that my jack stopped working at all and I can only hear sound from my speakers at all times.

Microphone is recording fine (as it has before) but it is in recording mode at all times, which causes the pitching noise when I put the mic closer to speakers (while closing the lid).

[cesium]

However, I still do not have jacksense, recording and if I close the screen lid, mic and speakers go into sync and laptop starts beeping like a banshee.

Err.. I thought recording didn't work... Anyhow, since you pasted the previous settings here it should be easy to go back.

[cesium]

What happens when you close the lid is interesting... Try muting stuff in ossxmix (by lowering sliders). Maybe "ossmix misc.fp-mic 0" would do it?

Hmmm, I think it helped.

But I still have no sound on headphone jack.

Scratch that. Now mic doesn't work.

[cesium]

OK. Try "ossmix jack.fp-black.fp-headphone 0" instead. If that doesn't work, try this: Edit /usr/lib/oss/conf/oss_hdaudio.conf and add the line "hdaudio_noskip=7". Restart OSS with "sudo soundoff" and "sudo soundon", and see if you new controls (like jack.black for example). Try mute these controls in oss(x)mix.

[Lockheed]

I did this all and I still have no sound from the jack.

There is new position "jack-black", but I can only select mode: 'imput' or 'pcm2'
I cannot see mute anywhere.

[cesium]

I'm a bit confused: "no sound from the jack" is what I was aiming for (to suppress noise when closing lid). I guess another issue was introduced? If so, just return to the ossmix settings you pasted above. A simple way to achieve this would be to turn off OSS with soundoff, erase the /usr/lib/oss/etc/mixer.save file, and then run soundon again - this will restore default mixer settings. Save these mixer settings (using "sudo savemixer -f filename" command). Then you can try muting stuffing in oss(x)mix. Use "sudo savemixer -L -f filename" to restore to working setting if you changed too much for it too work.

[Lockheed]

Ok, let me clarify. After erasing /usr/lib/oss/etc/mixer.save, the chief problem is:

I have sound from both speakers and headphone jack. I want speakers to mute as soon as I plug in headphones.

[cesium]

The other problems you mentioned in the thread can be solved, but I don't think we can make jacksense work. AFAIK, the driver doesn't support it for most codecs, and in all likelihood not this one.
