From what http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-opl3-sa2 and you said, these modules might be important: $ sudo modinfo soundcore filename: /lib/modules/3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko alias: char-major-14-* license: GPL author: Alan Cox description: Core sound module srcversion: 8ABC5ACBDA218CE05EAE01E depends: intree: Y vermagic: 3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp SMP mod_unload modversions 486 parm: preclaim_oss:int $ sudo modinfo opl3 filename: /lib/modules/3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp/kernel/sound/oss/opl3.ko license: GPL srcversion: 3B7C182C9214810EEE22CD2 depends: sound intree: Y vermagic: 3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp SMP mod_unload modversions 486 parm: io:int $ sudo modinfo snd-opl3-lib filename: /lib/modules/3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp/kernel/sound/drivers/opl3/snd-opl3-lib.ko license: GPL description: Routines for control of AdLib FM cards (OPL2/OPL3/OPL4 chips) author: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@xxxxxxxx>, Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996, Rob Hooft srcversion: 9FE35009FCFD4AE4EBDCD76 depends: snd,snd-timer,snd-hwdep,snd-seq-device intree: Y vermagic: 3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp SMP mod_unload modversions 486 $ sudo modinfo snd-opl3-synth filename: /lib/modules/3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp/kernel/sound/drivers/opl3/snd-opl3-synth.ko description: ALSA driver for OPL3 FM synth license: GPL author: Uros Bizjak <uros@xxxxxxxxxxx> srcversion: CA6A544D4F264D483200900 depends: snd-seq-midi-emul,snd,snd-opl3-lib,snd-seq,snd-seq-device intree: Y vermagic: 3.7.10-antix.5-486-smp SMP mod_unload modversions 486 parm: use_internal_drums:Enable internal OPL2/3 drums. (bool) Since "$ modinfo" finds them but "$ lsmod" doesn't, I guess these modules are available on my system, but not loaded at boot. Is that correct? As the link suggests, I try loading the modules: "$ modprobe opl3 ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss" now "$ lsmod" lists them plus some dependencies.
