can't get oss to start

I tried to reinstall it, but on go
I'm on sabayon Linux

here is a terminal output

Code:

sabayon tux # soundon

Failed to disable conflicting sound drivers

Reboot and try running soundon again



Also check that you have not compiled sound support statically

into the kernel.

sabayon tux #  /etc/init.d/oss start

Starting Open Sound System: Failed to disable conflicting sound drivers

Reboot and try running soundon again



Also check that you have not compiled sound support statically

into the kernel.

Starting OSS failed

sabayon oss # osstest 

/dev/mixer: No such file or directory

any help?
as I know not what to do

this is the second time this has happened
last time I reinstated the os
I have no clue to what happen both time tho

Alsa drivers are already loaded. Do you know what alsa driver your sound card uses? You'll want to blacklist it via /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (or another .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ ), reboot, and then try running soundon.
