OSS/Commercial v4 -- Flash and Skype silent [solved]

Renolc · 2007-02-07 03:14:40

I've followed the directions located here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS
and have successfully installed OSS/Commercial v4.

The only problem is it won't actually start.:(
Whether it's during boot, or when I try manually, it always returns:

[renolc@renolc-desktop ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/oss-linux start
:: Starting OSS/Commercial                                               [BUSY] Detected Intel AC97 (ICH4)
USB support available in the system
Detected Generic USB audio/MIDI device (BETA)
Detected OSS Transparent Virtual Mixing Architecture
FATAL: Error inserting osscore (/lib/modules/2.6.19-ARCH/kernel/oss/osscore.ko): Cannot allocate memory
Loading the osscore module failed
                                                                         [FAIL] 
[renolc@renolc-desktop ~]$

I haven't found anything like this in the forums or wiki, so I'm kinda at a loss.
Any ideas?

EDIT: Problem fixed by installing kernel26beyond. New problem found. See 3 posts down.

i dunno how to fix that, granted i didn't even try ... since it works on k-beyond which i need; and k-mm ...
i read somewhere that there was an issue with the installer inocrrecting detecting regparm / compiling with/out it..

Updated to kernel26beyond and it now works perfectly.

Sorry for the double post, but now that I got OSS/Commercial working, Skype and Flash no longer have sound.
The only way I can get them working again (as far as I can tell) is to disable oss-linux and re-enable soundcore from my rc.conf.

Anyone happen to know a way to get them to work without all this hassle?

I ultimately want to be able to use Skype while playing online games (mostly Tribes 2).
Flash isn't that important, but it gets annoying sometimes when I find something that I want to listen to as well as watch.

These are the only 2 programs I've found that don't seem to work perfectly with OSS/Commercial.

Why bother using OSS at all? Use Alsa and oss-compatibility and your problems should be gone.

Renolc · 2007-02-09 21:28:47

That's actually what I've been playing with for the past hour or so.

It ended up working after I configured wine to use either alsa or oss.

Thanks much for the help guys.
