can't start oss

I just installed oss today and can't start the daemon. 
sudo /etc/rc.d/oss start gives this

:: Starting Open Sound System                                            [BUSY]
FATAL: Module atiaudio not found.
Loading module atiaudio failed - ignored
FATAL: Module ossusb not found.
Loading module ossusb failed - ignored
                                                                                                   [DONE]

I've tried looking everywhere for the atiaudio and ossusb modules but I can't find them.  Can anyone help me?

Re: can't start oss

Try doing:

modprobe atiaudio

and

modprobe ossusb

You can add these modules to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf so they load up at boot time.

I was having this problem as well.  Edit /usr/lib/oss/etc/installed_drivers.  Replace atiaudio with oss_atiaudio and replace ossusb with oss_usb. Then restart OSS. They apparently did some renaming.

Re: can't start oss

modprobing the modules doesn't work because of what jnengland77 said.  Thanks for the renaming thing I'll try that when I get home.
