Re: sound doesn't work on sis 741 mboard
It looks like the system's finding everything alright... the next step
depends upon what kernel and sound architecture you're using. ogg123
is looking for OSS; are you using actual OSS, or ALSA in OSS emulation
mode? if it's ALSA, you need to run alsaconf to configure the new
devices. The other thing to try is to see if a audio wrapper daemon
like esd will use your device properly (you should hear the startup
beeps) and then use esdplay or some such to launch ogg123.
ok, I just checked the lsmod on a box I administer with the same
board... You're definitely using OSS. I really reccomend upgrading
to the ALSA system, I've been using that with that board and it works
like a charm.
I wish I had more suggestions for the OSS drivers, but I haven't used
that system in a while. but try seeing if a sound daemon helps at all.
cheers,
jason
