The GNU philosophy is, usually, to only complain in case of an error. Most tools will NOT output anything (extra) in case of success. If you get no output and the return value is 0, then the module was probed successfully. To confirm that, run "lsmod" to see that it's loaded; if it isn't, then maybe it loaded correctly and then unloaded due to an error (check your logs. Note that snd_pcm_oss probably won't do that, but some other could, I suppose). Also note that snd_pcm_oss doesn't actually load the OSS sound system, it just provides a compatibility layer so that programs which don't speak ALSA can still use the OSS interface. > > > Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@shellworld.net> writes: > > > > > Yes I have sound. rexima and aumix appear unable to locate any cards > > > even with several different combinations of items parsed from the > > > relevant lspci line. > > > > According to [1] (which probably applies), you might want to try > > something like "rexima -d /dev/mixer".
