[gentoo-user] Problems with SB Live, again

[E. Pereira]

As I told before my system gives me
>WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device
>(/dev/sound/dsp): No such file or directory
when I try to play audio.
So I took a peek in my system and discovered, while
trying to install alsa-driver, that ALSA is already
compiled into my kernel. So what should I do?

Thanks for any possible help,
e.pereira

Well, /dev/sound belongs to the deprecated oss api so you need to enable oss emulation:

mkdir /etc/portage
echo "media-sound/alsa-driver oss" >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -av alsa-driver
/etc/init.d/alsasound restart
