I upgraded my kernel from 2.4.18 to 2.4.26, and now I can't play sounds. Any time I try, the program just hangs until I ^C out of it. No messages appear in /var/log/messages, or on the console. I have a Debian unstable system with an SBLive soundcard. (There's also a sound system on the motherboard, but that never confused it before.) I have in the past managed to run Alsa, but getting it installed has never been fun, so since I'm only doing fairly simple-minded things like playing MIDI and having card sounds on my solitaire game, I've been just running OSS. I can't see anything wrong with the permissions on the /dev files, or with the list of modules that's being loaded. I just uploaded the latest version of that kernel-image, and the July 22 version has the same problem as the May 1 version. Does anyone have any ideas about what to try next? -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@xxxxxxxxxxxx , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (501) 641-5011 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
