Open Sound System

I've always hated alsa (really it is the sole think that pushed linux hw down since I remember) so I decided to give ossv4 a try. I need to fix this faster or i'll go back to alsa since I don't have much spare time in my hands, so:

1- Unless I mute manually int-speaker sound outputs from headphones and speakers at the same time. (Which can sometimes be great if I can send some apps to speakers and others to headphones) but by default speakers should mute when I plug the thing
2- I can't see my hdmi device and I have no idea out to output to it
output from lspci | grep Audio


3- My internal mic doesn't work . Tried to touch in everything in ossxmix

Everything works in alsa.


(compiled ossv4 from mercury sources)
Ubuntu 10.04(updated)





By the way. If PA guys hate you...develop a input plugin for it.
PA is not great, but ubuntu uses it. If you want oss to be used..I suggest you do it..It sucks..but well..
Either that or have great tools to use it the same way(gui tools)

Did you set mmap=0 in /etc/pulse/default.pa?

After I load the driver with the line:

load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input mmap=0

found in: http://www.opensound.com/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Applications_for_OSSv4

pulseaudio with that line added works perfectly ontop of OSSv4 for me.

Oh..PA runs ok. It was more about advanced option in pulseaudio I was refering to .
The mic and hdmi and mute when jack is in are my only probs

As for recording, try this:
A) Try recording from pcmin1. e.g. test with "ossrecord -d/dev/oss/oss_hdaudio0/pcmin1 - | ossplay -" and speak to the mic.
B) If the above doesn't work, put the mode of the jack where the mic is connected to to "input". If you don't know what it is, try red. Then do "A" again.

Hi. Doesn't work
I tried what you said. And that tried every option in the mixer( from ubuntu from the audiohacks repo) I have configure the hdsound to have (I don't know the name) the option at 7

Perhaps, I am mistaken, but OSS4 is for audiophiles and for those who really have problems with ALSA.
If there is not any ALSA driver for your soundcard, you might be happy with OSS4 and anything else.

You may simply remove PulseAudio, install ESound, and certain magic packages from "audiohacks PPA" https://launchpad.net/~dtl131/+archive/ppa
and your sound system will be perfectly O.K. To configure GStreamer, you may need "gnome-sound-properties" ("autodetect" means ESound daemon)

If you need Skype, you can install skype-static-oss (it works with both ALSA and OSS)

Some usefull information you may find here:

EDIT: There is an opinion that ESound is not "kosher", in a sense. I made several tests. ESound works well on very old computers (of 2001, for example), much better than "dmix".

Can you try the same with pcmin2 instead of pcmin1?
