Patch for 4.2.2008 for 3.12

[igorzwx]

Igorzwx, I may be barely available, but do not try to 'inform' on what is tolerated or not. Tone down a bit.

Thanks for deleting that post. It was indeed "inappropriate information", a kind of "overtone".

Perhaps, you may summarize this thread into a kind of "howto". It may prevent many "endless discussions".

There is also a strange problem with "supported soundcard" (Audiotrak Prodigy HD2) _http://www.opensound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5590
It may deserve your attention.

Hi,

I try to get rid of ALSA and install OSS4, so I installed oss4* packages using adept and applied [manually] patch. However my OSS4 sources version number is 4.2.2007. I suppose it doesn't much matter.

Code: Select all

# m-a a-i oss4

I get this:

I installed oss4* packages using adept

1. It seems that you installed the wrong packages from Ubuntu repositories.
In this case, you should delete them completely ("purge" with dpkg).
See:

Code: Select all

$ man dpkg

2. If you do not know how to install OSS4, you may start a new thread with a title like this: "How to install OSS4 on Kubuntu 14.04LTS?"

You are quite right!

Problem solved, however I did not compiled sources.
1. I installed downloaded .deb package from 4Front Technologies.
2. Blacklisted soundcore in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
3. Meanwhile had to rebuild as root: # dpkg --configue -a
4. modeprobe oss_hdaudio
5. osstest gave sound
And first of all I read and made some additions from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op ... em#Install

Thanks for motivation

1. I installed downloaded .deb package from 4Front Technologies.

Its licence may expire soon. You may better compile it from git.

2. Blacklisted soundcore in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

ALSA modules might already be deleted by OSS4. You may not need to blacklist them.
