can't get oss to start

3dfx · 04-06-2011, 12:17 AM

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.
