OSS4 on Debian Squeeze
- by mit
Hi,
I am trying to get OSS4 to work on a Debian Squeeze 64 bit machine with an usb sound adapter.
There is no sound from this adapter at the present, although it worked just before on the previous installation.
You can see the output of some commands here:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/oss4-base restart
Stopping Open Sound System: SNDCTL_MIX_EXTINFO: No such device or address
done.
Starting Open Sound System: done (OSS is already loaded).
$ sudo /etc/init.d/oss4-base stop
Stopping Open Sound System: SNDCTL_MIX_EXTINFO: No such device or address
done.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/oss4-base start
Starting Open Sound System: done (OSS is already loaded).

How can I make oss sound work? I can add more information if necessary.
