They may try.
But wait my contact Dev at OSS says to try the .tar file with Xandros..
Dev says: | Quote: |
If you use the tar-ball installation, there is no dependancices but
certain GUI apps may or may not work.
regards
Dev Mazumdar |
Which would be Linux 2.6 (x86).TAR
which is OSS v4.0
The version includes a High Def driver hdaudio which supports hd nvidia
This would be downloaded & then copied into the " /" dir
You can do this is a console as root with the su command or with the XandrosFileManager in Admin Mode /Launch/Applications/SYstem/Admin Tools/XFileManager (Admin)
Tar package How To OSS
Then Open a Console as
su
password
cd /
tar –jxvf oss-linux-v4.0-123-i386.tar.bz2
sh /usr/lib/oss/build/install.sh
2. You will have to reboot the system if
OSS replaced any driver previously
detected.
3. To test that the audio package is
correctly installed type: osstest and you
should hear the test sounds on the front
left, right and both speakers. Now log
out of the console session
No guarantees but this is a new install so Nothing to lose..

This just doesnt want to work out at all. I get the following error when I do the sh /usr/.....

The kernel development package may be called kernel-devel, kernel-smp-devel,

to the documentation of your Linux distribution if there are any
difficulties in installing the kernel/driver development environment.
For your Linux distribution the right kernel source package

I tried installing something related to gcc and also tried installing "kernel-source 2.6.18" |

The packa ge wants kernel headers
You would need this item Installed from XandrosNetworks
2.6.18-smp kernel headers
I always have them installed for work and should have remembered to mention them.
Sorry..
looks like you have the gcc (C compiler) there unless you got an error message stating it could not find it.. it is also on XandrosNetworks if you need it.
Like I said in an earlier post your nvidia hd chip is a more recent development and Xandros being a very Stable Distro is a step behind the bleeding edge hardware. Reason being testing new stuff, I suppose.
So, with the header files in place and the gcc to compile you can try once again..
Too bad this is more difficult then it should be sometimes a piece of hardware will be difficult if new..
Try with those headers and see if it makes it ,,If not then the only solution is a Distro Compiled to accept the OSS ver 5 .deb which did install.
One such distro is Ubuntu's latest release..

So upon rebooting, still no sound.
KMIX still not working properly.
Went into Sound System to play with "select audio device". If I select ALSA, I get the following dialog:
| Quote: |
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
|
If I select OSS, nothing seems to happen.
With regard to "Ubuntu's latest release", you referring to 7.04 beta(?) I think it is...? |

Just remembered about using osstest. Here is the output. Did not hear any sound:

Sure seems like I'm missing something here... is there an oss mixer tool? |

When using OSS drivers, one sometimes has to offer permissions to the user account... Try logging in as root and seeing if you have sound in that account..

Is that different than logging in as a user and running the Root Console? That's what I've been doing for all of this. So even the osstest was under root console.
Or do I login to the very first login screen as...? Root? with the root password?
Not clear on that. |

You would have to actually log into the root account, then try something that involves sound.. As a user, you want to type groups and make sure your user is part of the audio group..

I think you are referring to the in console install and
redrum is referring to logging in as root to Try out the OSS install for sound..

The Ubuntu package will definitely not work, because Ubuntu uses a different kernel then Xandros does... You have to use the generic installer..

You are of course correct..
sellib, has already tried that and found that out by application..
The package is not labled Ubuntu simply Linux 2.6 (x86).deb...
but Dev says it was compiled to work with Ubuntu 6.xx and Debian Stable..
I guess our kernel deviates from that standard..?
redrum?
