Hi there... I will do that, however, I cannot seem to find a version for slackware, can ya give me a link to it please? To clarify, when I want my soundblaster on the older computer to work, I don't have the alsa drivers installed on it, I just put the following into the rc.local file: /sbin/modprobe sb /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss /sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss play /DOS/windows/media/tada.wav ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug" <wearable@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 2:58 PM Subject: Re: alsa problems > Seth, > > > it's not alsa since I've not installed that yet <snip> > > modprobe for the snd-pcm-oss and so on, modprobe reports > > that it can't find that module. > > snd-pcm-oss is part of alsa, it's the oss emulation. > So it makes sense that this modules isn't found if > you haven't installled alsa yet.
