So someone is going to ask you for -OSS as it want to use some features os SBLive, etc ... - -To my mind the best way for this ( but too late for 8.2 ) will be to -have a tool called soundrake. Thanks to this tools, you choose at the -beginning if you want to use OSS or alsa and then try to correctly -configure your sound card. This tool should be able to work in -embended mo in harddrake or harddrake2 ( infos concerning this so long -awaiting harddrake 2 ? ). - -In order to make this tool be a perfect tool, it should be able to -advice user concerning the advantage and the disadvantage of each -driver ( indeed alsa sometimes is better than OSS as it support full -duplex and wave mixing on more sound cards ). -It's also disturbing is harddrake set alsa by default and XrakX set -OSS by default as sometimes by lanching harddrake ( just to see what -happen ) you lose ( or seems to lose ) your sound card ( mute mixer ) - -For example : -+ launch harddrake -+ use autodetection : yes/no -+ if auto detects enable, it detects a SBLive. -+ explanations text concerning the fact that : - if I use OSS I will be able to use sounds effects, live drive and -others things ( AC-3 passthrough ) thanks to the emu10k1-tools packages -( available on CD sets and installable via Software Manager ) - if I use Alsa, I won't be able to use emu10k1-tools but at the -contrary I will be able to use midi software as alsa module support midi -+ ask user which one he wants to use : OSS / Alsa ? -+ set the sound card drivers and modules.conf according to user wishes -+ <mode= dream> if I select OSS, installed emu10k1-tools and provide a -GUI to configure them </mode = dream> -+ <mode= dream> if I select Alsa unmute at least PCM and Vol or display -a warning saying that by default Alsa mute everything ( configure alsa -service so that it save mixer settings ) -+ test the sound ( mandrake sound theme ) -+ do you hear something ? -+ yes -> your sound card have been properly set. -+ if no -> try the others drivers set or send lspcidrake -v to -somebody@somewhere.org to check for support for your sound card -+ Do you ahave another sound card ? |
