I understand OSS used to work for you? And the driver is loaded... Or is it a new install of OSS?

If it's not a new install, Maybe what happened is when you upgraded to Fedora 14 it restored the ALSA modules, and they prevent OSS from seeing the device... Can you paste the output of 'lsmod'?

As you can see audio controller is available, previously it had an "UNCLAIMED" comment with it, just like the modem. I removed alsa and pulseaudio modules.

Please paste output of 'lspci -vnn' for the card... I think 'lspci -s 1f.5 -vnn' should do it.

OSS was recompiled to enable "Production quality".

Yesterday, I tested Arch LiveCD on this computer. OSS4 was installed over ALSA. Everything worked perfectly.
The manual is here:

[igorzwx]

:cry:

Could this be translated into a kind of human language?
Do you know what is LiveCD and how it can be used for testing audio drivers?

[azhar]

yes it can be translated as "I dont have a live cd and so far i havent been able to get my sound to work"

[igorzwx]

yes it can be translated as "I dont have a live cd and so far i havent been able to get my sound to work"

If I understood you correctly, there is a technical problem (slow internet, or it is very expensive): you cannot download the ISO image and write it to CD. Right?
My friend in Canada has such problem. If he needs to download something, he has to ask his brother to do this for him.

[cesium]

Try setting "detect_trace=1" in /usr/lib/oss/conf/osscore.conf and attach /var/log/soundon.log here after (re)loading OSS.
