Re: [gentoo-dev] Broken Sound in KDE3

["Rob W" <rowboat@wi.rr.com>]

Yes, both those modules are in modules.autoload, and they load without
complaint at boot.  Even when I click on OSS sound in KDE control center, I
still get nothing.
    I have abandoned ALSA for now.  It has been removed from the boot
runlevel, and the module snd-sb16 has been commented out in my
modules.autoload.  I give up.
    Now I have to get OSS working.
    I may have to just dump the old ISA PNP SB16 (even though it worked fine
in Gentoo previously) and get a SB Live! Value card for $50 or so.  It would
probably make life simpler, and I'd be getting to bed before 3:00 am.
    Anyway, I appreciate your help.
    Rob W.
