Hints and suggestions greatly appreciated. I probably can't help much, but when you compiled the kernel did you enable oss emulation? (I believe it needs to be as a module). You should see in lsmod the following amongst the other snd modules. snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_seq_oss Would you post the output of. lsmod | grep snd . It may be helpfull to others reading this thread. While your in lsmod check to see if a module named "soundcore" is loaded.
