When the "scrabble type" tiles drop, they make a noise. This game requires Java to be installed and works fine. Up until I did the upgrade to Firefox, I had sound in this game. What is different all of a sudden? The other issue is a video from this particular link http://tobykeith.musiccitynetworks.com/index.htm?inc=5&news_id=8090. I was able to get sound in video on this site before the upgrade. Again, what is different? > > If you use the in-kernel ALSA drivers, you need CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS > and CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS support. Also make sure that the snd_pcm_oss > and snd_mixer_oss modules are loaded. I don't use in-kernel alsa drivers. I have to recompile this driver every time I do a kernel upgrade. If I don't recompile, I get a message about /dev/dsp. So, I assume that what I need is installed when I recompile. And right now, I did 'cd /dev' and 'ls dsp', dsp is there. I also tried recompiling Firefox with the nsplugin USE flag, although this USE flag was not listed when I did 'emerge -av mozilla-firefox'. Any other thoughts?
