No sound from old games (OSS), no /dev/dsp, no /dev/mixer
Yep, another thread about lack of support for OSS!
I've read zillions of pages about this, still just can't get it to work.
Normal sound works fine, but when I start my old games that uses OSS (CivCTP, RT2 & AlienCrossfire) there is no sound. Error in terminal (if any):
"Warning: Unable to open audio: No available audio device"
There is no /dev/dsp, also no /dev/mixer.
Distro is LinuxMint 14, also tried LMDE & Debian 6.
Soundcard is built-in Nvidia.
I also have an Nvidia graphics card with HDMI-sound, same driver as for built-in sound, but it is not active. I did attach my TV to vga-cards HDMI port, no sound at all, ever. All sound output is through built-in.
At first I had PulseAudio and Alsa, with oss-compat. Trying to fix this issue I installed alsa-oss, but it didn't change anything.
I tried starting my games using pulseaudio tool "padsp" but it doesn't work. I think it's because apps using padsp can't be built statically or the other way around - anyway, I can't control that for any of these games.
Also tried "aoss":
Code:
$ aoss /usr/local/spel/RT2/rt2
Warning: Unable to open audio: No available audio device
I removed pulseaudio and installed OSS4 - still no difference! Still no sound from oss-games, still no /dev/dsp???
I have tried various tips I found here on LQ & other places with no success.
Here's what I remember:
Everything below executed as root.
Code:
# dmesg |grep -i oss - SHOWS NOTHING
# ossdetect -d -v
/proc/opensound/devfiles: No such file or directory
Cannot connect to the OSS kernel module.
Perhaps you need to execute 'soundon' to load OSS
There is no "soundon" in my system.
Code:
# ossplay /usr/local/multimedia/musik/CohnyJash_1.wav
/dev/dsp: No such file or directory
edgar ~ # osstest
/dev/mixer: No such file or director
# /etc/init.d/oss4-base start
* Starting Open Sound System: [fail]
I can't find anything in the logs concerning OSS, executed "/etc/init.d/oss4-base start" while running "tail -f /var/log/syslog" in second terminal, no output at all.
IMHO the problem is that OSS4 is not running, but I have no idea why not.
