Oss wiki (!soundcore...

just a question regarding the oss wiki !soundcore to disable alsa, when i first installed oss i added !soundcore to the module section in my /etc/rc.conf, after the first reboot everything was fine but at some stage maybe 2 or 3 reboots later i all of a sudden had no sound, osstest and ossdetect -v worked but i still had no sound, i eventually had to switch back to alsa and modprobe snd_hda_intel to get my sound back again, at which point i could switch back to oss, but this cycle probably repeated itself maybe 2 or 3 times until i decided to remove !soundcore from my modules section and i haven't had any problems since, no conflicts with alsa or anything, just replaced alsa with oss in my daemons section and removed snd_hda_intel from the modules section and everythings been fine since.
just wondering if any one else has experienced the same thing, maybe a note about it should be put on the wiki page, or is my situation unique?

no i spent a long time playing around with the mixer, unmuted every thing and changed the jacks around but nothing ever changed.
it must just something about my hardware, this is my modules and daemons section
MODULES=(powernow-k8 cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal @networkmanager @cpufreq @oss @preload)
I don't have to blacklist anything alsa related and everything always gets loaded no problem

How does udev decide to load oss or alsa when boot up?

Since Skottish has told me I do not need to blacklist alsa in MODULES in order to use oss.
I assume that udev will choose oss rather than alsa to load when booting up, then I am wondering how does udev choose which one to load, alsa or oss?
And suppose one day, I want to use alsa again, how can I make udev to choose alsa instead of oss?
Also by the way, will there be any conflict to load both alsa and oss together?
Thanks, guys.:)

Ok, so udev actually look at what is DAEMON to decide what to load?
I didn't know this.. I thought when boot up, udev will load alsa by default, then why did the OSS Wiki said we need to put !soundcore in MODULES to blacklist Alsa?

Alsa or oss ??

I have a Dell Studio 1450 Laptop with 512MB ATI Radeon mobility graphics card.
There are two speakers embedded in the laptop and two audio jacks.
Alsa
As alsa is the one that is installed by default by most distros, I even had alsa with every distro I tried and none of them could output sound ( in an okay manner) .
1. There was no sound in the embedded speakers no matter what
2. There was no sound if I plugged my headphones in one of the audio jacks
3. The volume of sound that came out when I plugged in my headphones in the second jack was very less !!! It was audible only when i increased the volume level in alsamixer to maximum.
I searched a lot, and kind of tried every instruction that was there on alsa's troubleshooting page but all in vain.
OSS
I came to know about OSS while installing arch itself and though of giving it a try. And it worked !!!. I had sound on all three of them.
BUT -
running osstest tests 3 sound adapters ( namely pcm0, pcm1, pcm2) out of which only the first one plays ( is that okay?)
Plugging in a headphone jack does not disable the embedded speaker. So how do I go about disabling it? I looked for it in oss wiki but couldn't find any instructions.
Is there a way to get alsa up and running on my hardware (I will post all log files that you might need)
please help me in configuring OSS.

and yes .. the post is dated 29 jan 2010 which means that they found the solution when my urge to find one had diminished.
I had received my dell on 8 jan ... and it was for one or two weeks that I tried every possible thing. then I moved to more critical problems such as the udev freeze while booting ( the solution to which is something i have'nt discovered yet).
I mean you can always make it boot by acpi=off or pci=nolapic but slackware does it without those boot params... why can't other distros do the same?

I use ALSA but need to use a program that only supports OSS

Specifically, TeamSpeak2
It is very antiquated and as far as I can tell it will only support OSS with /dev/dsp. I read the OSS wiki and the first steps seem to make it clear that ALSA and OSS won't peacefully co-exist. Is there any simple way to get this working? I only need the sound output, not worried about mic input for now.

Splex wrote:You need to enable dmix to have alsa mix the multiple outputs together.
IIRC, alsa will supposively enable dmix by default for cards that don't support hardware mixing.. if you have a /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc it may be causing ALSA to stray from the default...
if that isn't the case, you can manually enable dmix by creating/editing the /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc to something like this:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/Dmix#6._The_com … ameters.29
I put that in ~/.asoundrc and it didn't seem to work. Additionally, with that in my .asoundrc, alsamixer refuses to start and gives me a bunch of errors about invalid configuration.

Gnome OSS mixer (support?)

Hello all. Seeing as OSS came back to the official repos I finally went through the pain of installing it on my test setup (ALSA is blacklisted, user is in audio group, ossmix is set up, etc.)
Sound works and all, however I'd like to be able to use the latest GNOME integrated mixer (which based on the OSS wiki page should support it). Sadly, it does not.
OSS works fine (flashplayer is working, SMplayer with Mplayer2 is working) but not gnome test (in gnome settings).
I have ossvol (for volume control, for now). Any idea on how to get the supposedly supported mixer working?

You can use ossxmix if you really desire a GUI, but currently gnome, xfce and kde's native mixers don't work with oss4 unless patched. If you google arround you are likely to find a patch for your mixer, but these are mostly dirty hacks. Use ossxmix for now.

[DONE] Bash scripting. A few questions

Hi,
I've created my own custom sleep script as it is described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … stem-sleep and it's already working correctly.
However I've got a few questions concerning bash scripting since I've never did it before.
Here the example from the wiki:
#!/bin/sh
case $1/$2 in
pre/*)
echo "Going to $2..."
post/*)
echo "Waking up from $2..."
esac
Now what do I need the /*) for in the cases pre and post? What does it do? And why isn't there any *) in the end which would exit the script if none of the above is true?
Secondly, why does it say case $1/$2 in, but not case $1 in, what is the $2 needed for? E.g. in this script only $1 is used: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OS … ibernation
And third question is, if I do really need the double quotes around $1? Does it make any difference?
Sorry for my incompetence but I'm not a dev and as I already said I've never did any bash scripting...
Thanks in advance
best regards

ok, here's my actual code:
#!/bin/sh
suspend_osssound()
/usr/lib/oss/scripts/killprocs.sh
/usr/sbin/soundoff
resume_osssound()
/usr/sbin/soundon
case "$1" in
pre)
suspend_osssound
post)
resume_osssound
*) exit $NA
esac
It is the same as the one in the OSS wiki entry, but slightly configured to work under logind and not pm-utils. Of course the new location is /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/.
I'm about to update the wiki with my code, so I'd like to know if there aren't any major mistakes. I tested it and it works but I want to get sure
PS: Do people actually still use pm-utils for suspending or can I safely remove the previous script from the wiki?
EDIT: Added double quotes

Sound config not proper.

Fist time installing Arch ,, I have used Ubuntu , Fedora and Feddora Omega for years and have done a lot of installs but this is my first successfull well semi manual install lol. The install is easier than it sounds on the wiki guide lol.
K few problems ,, Gnome is kind of borked so using KDE for now but thats another story. Right now I am having a problem with the sound and it is probably my xorg config doing it. I have a dell XPS 1530 laptop and it has a sigmatel sound card had a pop up that stated my sound at intel but it is not.
Also when doing the install I tried configing the sound in x as stated in my printouts but got errors trying.
Any assistance would be apreacieted.

What error did you get? Is it an integrated soung card on motherboard ? Is the driver for it okay? Why do you think zou must set it in the xorg config ?
What kind of sound operation would you like ?

Is soundcore required by alsa or by oss?

I have been using oss 4.1 and have been pretty happy with its performance. But I cannot update to oss 4.2 since, my sound stops working.
I was just browsing through the logs when I saw this in there
Oct 11 00:38:54 arch load-modules.sh: Not loading module 'iTCO_wdt' for alias 'pci:v00008086d0000244Csv00000000sd00000000bc06sc01i00' because it is blacklisted

Oct 11 00:38:55 arch load-modules.sh: 'platform:dcdbas' is not a valid module or alias name
Oct 11 00:38:55 arch load-modules.sh: Not loading module 'snd_maestro3' for alias 'pci:v0000125Dd00001998sv00001028sd000000E5bc04sc01i00' because its dependency 'soundcore' is blacklisted
Oct 11 00:38:55 arch load-modules.sh: 'acpi:PNP0C01:' is not a valid module or alias name
I was under the impression that soundcore was required by ALSA and therefore I had disabled it in MODULES Array. Here's my MODULES array
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
#MODULES=(!iTCO_wdt 3c59x mii slhc ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-ac97-codec snd-maestro3 soundcore)
MODULES=(!iTCO_wdt !slhc !soundcore)
Are the two related? does the new oss version(4.2) require soundcore to be enabled? coz like I said, everything works with oss 4.1 just as it is.
I am using hal, so do I even need the MODULES array at all and also the xorg.conf file anymore?

[SOLVED] Switching back to ALSA from OSS

Good day fellow Archites,
I am trying to get my audio working after another fresh install (I am getting good at this).
The pertinent hardware is as follows:
Mobo: ASUS P5G41T-M LX PLUS
Sound: Onboard (Realtek ALC887 Chipset)
The sound did not work after getting Arch to a good point (ie having KDE installed and pretty much everything else working).
Arch however did detect the audio hardware, I just had no sound. I followed every wiki I could find on this and still no luck
So I switched to OSS because I saw that Realtek seems to be a proponent of OSS, this didn't work very well and it didn't detect my audio card at all after this. (KDE/Phonon is prompting me to remove the previously installed hardware - I didn't do it)
Promptly I tried to switch back. I think this is where I messed up.
I couldn't find any sort of guide on switching from OSS back to ALSA, so I simply used "pacman -Rdds oss" hoping it would reverse the blacklisting process that it does to ALSA.
After a reboot, KDE still prompted me still to remove the previously detected hardware because it is no longer there, meaning UDev isn't detecting it (I think).
So my big question, how do I go from OSS back to ALSA properly?
How do I re-enable the ALSA modules that are loaded on Arch boot?
I have nothing in /etc/modprobe.d - there are no blacklisting files/configurations at all and I am at a loss.
Thank you my nerdy genius's, or would it be genuii?

OSS *sometimes* has no sound

OSS is being really weird for me. When I first boot my system the sound never works. I'll go play with ossxmix a bit but ultimately change nothing, and sometimes it will randomly work, sometimes not. Sometimes I'll run an osstest and it will work and then the next one after does not work at all. Ultimately, really random and weird behavior.

For example, before I started typing this post it wasn't working. Now it's working fine. Ahhhh!
If it helps at all, alsa does not have any problems on this system. I'd love to be able to finally get OSS working though.

I should have asked earlier, but you have blacklisted the soundcore module (which loads Alsa) correct? Or they would race to get the sound card.
Also,I noticed that your devices are HD Audio and USB. The wiki says that support for usb and hd is experimental (read buggy).
EDIT: But then again, this website says that Intel HD Audio and Intel AC'97 are both supported. Go figure !

[Gave Up]Problems getting OSS or PulseAudio to work

So I'm following the wiki guide on installing OSS (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Open_Sound_System) and am running into a wall. It tells me to add:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa_blacklist.conf
blacklist soundcore
to rc.conf, but not where. So I did some looking in rc.conf and thought that this was right:
# MODULES: Modules to load at boot-up. Blacklisting is no longer supported.
# Replace every !module by an entry as on the following line in a file in
# /etc/modprobe.d:
# blacklist module
# See "man modprobe.conf" for details.
MODULES=()
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa_blacklist.conf:
blacklist soundcore
But if I try and do anything with OSS the first errors I get are that the alsa_blacklist.conf file doesn't exists and that blacklist cannot be found. And then from there it goes into telling me that a lot of stuff in already in use before finally telling me "Also check that you have not compiled sound support statically into the kernel."
Can anyone help me with this? I bet it was something obvious and stupid that I'm missing.
Edit: So I found that the old method of blacklisting (the one in the guide I'm assuming) is now deprecated but I still don't understand what I am to do.

GERGE wrote:Forget osspd, delete it. Open /etc/pulse/default.pa , remove udev detecting and uncomment oss line.
Removed osspd and everything that I did with it. Is this what you meant with udev:
### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
#.ifexists module-udev-detect.so
#load-module module-udev-detect
#.else
### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev/hal su$
load-module module-detect
#.endif
And then for the oss line, is this what you meant?
### Load audio drivers statically
### (it's probably better to not load these drivers manually, but instead
### use module-udev-detect -- see below -- for doing this automatically)
#load-module module-alsa-sink
#load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0
load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input
load-module module-oss-mmap device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input
#load-module module-null-sink
#load-module module-pipe-sink
Sorry for having little idea with what I'm doing. Want to make sure I'm not breaking anything. XD
Edit: Rebooted and now I don't have any control over my sound (even less than I did before) because I can't do anything regarding sound through Gnome now.
Edit2: Also, I'm using a usb gaming headset - Tritton AX720 - if that helps any. Worked fine in Fedora 15, so I know it's compatible with PulseAudio.
Edit3: So I couldn't even use PulseAudio after I did what you said (maybe I just did it incorrectly?), I removed all the changes I did. I just need to figure out a way for it to register that my headset is even there.

[SOLVED] Error running install command for soundcore

Hi,
I use OSSv4 instead of ALSA. Everything is working correctly but I noticed an error message in the bootlog:
systemd-udevd[204]: Error running install command for soundcore
What does this mean? Why is there an error?
Of course I blacklisted the ALSA module as it is described in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS#Install
best regards
nuc

Ok, thanks for the info.
But why does the wiki suggest to run "install soundcore /bin/false" instead of just "blacklist soundcore"? In earlier revisions the wiki suggested to do "blacklist soundcore" (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=231068).
Doesn't this actually have the same effect?
EDIT:
I found this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … acklisting

OSS/Commercial driver v4 beta!

There is no announcement (dunno why), the original RPMs are at http://www.4front-tech.com/test/, or you can use my pkgbuild http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=7134 (binary is for kernel26ck 2.6.18 only)
Some changes: · Configuration and file path are all changed, see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS … cial_Setup for setup.
· 3D surround enhancement is much better now. No more noise for opera music! (unless you use headphones )
· reverb option in mixer is gone (???)
· osscore reports mmap on virtual devices is unsupported, but ossinfo says yes :?:. It affects enemy territory and maybe quake 3/4 too
Cheers!

Why tha hell doesnt it work to remove the module...

Beginners Guide sound installation -- OSS and ALSA objective features

Beginners Guide sound installation -- OSS and ALSA objective features needed
Hi,
In most wiki pages i just edit the things that i think need editing. Just look at the oss history
In all those cases i didn't really saw a need to ask for permission.. that would kinda destroy the wiki idea.
However i want to change the sound instructions in the beginners guide so i made a copy of the entire guide and the part that i changed there is: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Use … ling_Sound now i have a slight issue there. As you can see i'm in favor of OSS and because you can spot that it's not objective. Now i would ask 2 things.
1. Could you all post your features of OSS and ALSA
2. Once that's done can i have permission to place that section in the beginners guide? that will also include removing the sound installation from the beginners guide which i already did in my version
My personal reason to do this. i've read this and am since then pro OSS and against the ALSA/PulseAudio combo. i think that combo needs to get out of linux (most notably Fedora and Ubuntu) ASAP. and oss needs to go back into the linux kernel
Thank you for your time,
Mark

I'm an alsa/pulse user, so I'll give a bit of the 'other side'.
Alsa/pulse
Pros:-
network sound
advanced connection of sink/source (including merging sinks)
bluetooth support!
highly supported by existing apps, either through directly supporting Pulse or through its alsa plugin (you should not need to recompile properly-written apps which do not assume they should write audio data directly to hardware, I think I only needed to recompile mpd on my system)
Cons:-
Setup isn't the easiest. Can't comment vs OSS4 because I haven't tried it
OSS4
Pros:-
Everyone seems to say sound quality is better. I guess that's because they're comparing it with dmix alsa. Use pulse with alsa and you should not notice any difference in sound quality though.
Cons:-
Most apps nowadays default output to alsa. Meaning OSS plays them using an alsa plugin.
USB support is admittedly skimpy.
EDIT: Having read the sound article you referred to, my only comment is that the writer really has it in for Pulse... 3 seconds latency, where'd he get that from? I use pulse for audio recording (when I'm lazy to fire up JACK) and while there IS latency, its definitely in the ms range.
Thanx for the input

markg85, libflashsupport isn't needed. [1]

If you don't know, please don't put in wiki, this could cause unnecessary problems. As for the mms section:
If your stream sounds ugly in totem like it did with me then you could try to play it with another codec like ffmpeg (mplayer). That "fixed" the issue for me. This will not fix the issue that somehow pops up in gstreamer when playing MMS streams but it will give you the option to play it with good sound quality. Playing it in mplayer is simple:
# mplayer mmsh://yourstreamurl
Could you fix this? ffmpeg is not a codec . Also define ugly, and what is somehow?

As for the things you didn't know. As soon as i fully understand how i can get a microphone working in OSS i will add that to the wiki as well. Unless you already know it.. in that case, feel free to add it.
For the mic, I did get mine going. Can't remember just how I did mine (sorry, think I had to disable one of the inputs), but do remember to prevent it from passing through the speakers had to disable "Misc Microphone".

For libflashsupport on the same page you linked it clearly states:
# Flash V9 and V10 require libflashsupport to output sound via OSS. Typically a 32-bit version of the library is required.
# Flash V10 has a 64-bit version which requires a 64 bit libflashsupport.
Also i tested it with and without libflashsupport. On archlinux (x64 running here) there most certainly is a need for libflashsupport when you want to have sound in your flash. And yes i tested the archlinux OSS version and the mercurial version (running now) bith need it installed manually! On my pc sound in flash didn't work without it but did with it. So, no not removing from the wiki as it's needed. But i see you removed it for me! please do NOT do that if you didn't even verified it. I use flash 10 x64 and i need it!
As for the ffmpeg "codec" changed it to backend.
And i did get the microphone working near perfect: http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=13192
Now for some news you all might like.
On my school i need to do an investigation to whatever i want and i'm heavily thinking about investigating the pros/cons of alsa compared to oss (or oss compared to alsa). That investigation will take from monday next week till next mondey till friday 23 of oktober. In that investigation i'm going to do some in depth look of alsa and oss and that will include the usability as well.
Following up on that investigation i will spend another 8 weeks on my school making a volume control application that can be used with alsa and oss and easily expandable with other sound systems. The goal of this is to make one sound application that can manage (in the first place) alsa and oss. oss is going to be implemented and alsa is probably going to be dummy implemented because it's likely way to much for me to implement both.
Before you get to exited, both projects (investigating and making the application) are just made up today and i just don't know if both will get accepted by my school. I asked one teacher and he liked the idea a lot and could potentially have a value for the sound management under linux. Once i do get this started i will involve the community (YOU!) with this since this project can't be done without the community specially the investigation.
And once i start and have something to tell/ask i will blog about it on http://blog.mageprojects.com
edit::
And this idea already got dumped. read more a few posts down or click: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 34#p612634

[SOLVED] what headers do I need to build oss

Hi All,
I'm trying to run the open sound system but my problem is this:
[root@StudioA a]# soundoff && soundon
OSS not loaded.
Relinking OSS kernel modules for "3.12.8-1-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload modversions "
This may take few moments - please stand by...
OSS build environment set up for REGPARM kernels
Warning: Cannot locate the Linux kernel development package for
Linux kernel version 3.12.8-1-ARCH
Please install the kernel development package if linking the
OSS modules fails.
The kernel development package may be called kernel-devel, kernel-smp-devel,
kernel-sources, kernel-headers or something like that. Please refer
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
might be kernel-source.

I've seen this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 95#p673595 but the solution doesn't apply.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
