 |
|
I am trying to run freesci and it continually attempts to run alsa as my sound driver. I set my USE to include "-alsa". I emerge unmerged the following:
alsa-xmms
alsa-driver
alsa-utils
alsa-oss
If I try to force it to use OSS, i get the error that "/dev/sequencer" and "/dev/audio" cannot be found. (They are not there).
What can I do? |

Have you aliased your OSS sound modules to the devices it's looking for?

I just made sure the bottom of my /etc/modules.d/alsa look like this:
| Code: | alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
alias /dev/sequencer snd-seq-midi |
That doesn't actually load the modules though, you'll still need to load snd-seq-midi and snd-seq-oss somewhere by hand. I put modprobe lines in /etc/conf.d/local.start as I don't know if modules.autoload gets processed before or after the alsasound boot script.
edit: Oops, forgot you weren't using ALSA anymore. In that case, I think you need to alias /dev/sequencer to either your main OSS audio module (alias /dev/sequencer <ossmodule>) or the sequencer driver for that card other than that, I'm not sure as I haven't dove into the finer points of OSS MIDI configuration for nearly 5 years (back when I had my AWE64).

| Code: | | alias /dev/sequencer=cmpci |
Does not work (I entered it from the command line). Do I have this right? |
