Re: kernel26 problem via82cxxx_audio

kernel 2.6.0 do not longer has OSS as sound-system --- they moved to ALSA, so you cannot longer use OSS module

-> you have to change your modules.conf to load the ALSA modules:

    # ALSA portion
        alias char-major-116 snd
        alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
        # module options should go here

        # OSS/Free portion
        alias char-major-14 soundcore
        alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
        
        # card #1
        alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
        alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
        alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
        alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
        alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

more info about your chipset-config here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/do … le=via82xx

when you changed modules.conf, and you want to use OSS-emulation (to let a lot of apps think they can use OSS) you have to add to /etc/rc.conf in MODULES=() 2 modules:
snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss

this will load at startup the OSS-emulation, and the whole system will think you still have OSS working

The impossible missions are the only ones which succeed.
