Does raplayer work > in 2.2? I've been thinking of downgrading anyway.. Yep, it works fine for me. I have everything but the opl0 in my config. Actually, I'm trying out the OSS sound subsystem currently. It works pretty good. I haven't decided whether to buy it yet, since I don't seen a huge value add. I can build a kernel just fine. Why do you have conflicts on every line? Do you really need them? That my be the problem? I'm using 2.2.1-Release. Here's my Sound card config (it worked too, before I put the OSS in). # Sound Card controller snd0 device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr device sbxvi0 at isa? drq 6 device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x300 options "SBC_IRQ=5" options "SB16_DMA=6" As for OSS, to save me from repling as to where to get it: Release notes for OSS/FreeBSD ----------------------------- This is the first public beta test version of OSS/FreeBSD. Some parts of the driver are still under construction so everything doesn't work perfectly yet. Final 3.8 version of OSS is expected to be ready before summer. Note! The evaluation license included in this package gives you 5 days time to evaluate OSS/FreeBSD. After 5 days OSS will work only 10 minutes after it has been started (using soundon). Full licenses are available from http://www.4front-tech.com. Known bugs in this release are: - Audio recording and playback with GUS "Classic" doesn't work. - System will crash if any of the sound device files are accessed after OSS/FreeBSD has been unloaded. For this reason avoid unloading OSS (using soundoff command). Reboot the machine if you wish to unload OSS. -- It's impossible to make things foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
