just when i thought i had oss4 sorted an issue has all of a sudden arrised, i have no sound, osstest gives an error /dev/mixer no such device
so i reinstalled oss4 and everything works again until i reboot and get the same error again, not sure why this has happened my configurations have not changed.
I'm not sure how it works but i assume with /dev being mounted as tmpfs everything must get wiped on reboot, but mixer doesn't seem to get put back there on next startup.
so i've gone back to alsa, i would prefer to use oss4 but at least i have sound again

Do you run /etc/rc.d/oss start at boot? Sounds like oss didn't start for ya and that's your problem...

I didn't think of that, /etc/rc.d/oss start gives an error oss all ready running, but /etc/rc.d/oss restart gets things working again.
so i put /etc/rc.d/oss restart in /etc/rc.local and i now have sound on each reboot.
thanks

That's kind of strange...maybe put oss towards the end of the DAEMONS array. It could be starting too early maybe.

Do you got any modules of oss in mkinitcpio image or in rc.conf?
Try to remove them becouse they block to start OSS becouse OSS try to load them

i think that was the problem, i had oss_hdaudio as a module which was starting oss too soon,
just having oss at the end of the daemons list has solved it
