ossxmix issue

[TroyB]

Hi all,

I getting the following issue with the above extension when running it. Previous version was working fine, until I upgraded to this current version.

Upon running ossxmix, it get the following error message.

No mixer are available

Can anyone shed any light on this? Am I missing anything? or can I get the previous version before this one.

This was done through app browser.

Thanks for your time.

You don't say what version you are running or what the previous version was.
Since the kernel has not changed since 3.0, I doubt the version has anything to do with the problem.
I would look for changes in the extensions you are loading.

Hi TroyB
I'm no expert on OSS but it looks like it's not finding the audio hardware. You could try opening a
terminal and entering  sudo soundon  to see if it spits out any useful messages, or you could try
un-installing OSS and then re-installing it.

Changing the topic title would seem like a good idea, as from your output it looks like OSS has not recognized any soundcard, therefore it is not an issue particular to ossxmix at all.

[TroyB]

Thanks rich & tinypoodle for your response.

That was the strange thing, I had download the ossxmix into the optional quiet sometime ago for TC 3.2 and it worked, now I upgraded to TC 3.5 and with a clean optional dir and ossxmix stops working.

I have removed it and reinstalled again with no luck except the same message every time I tried to run ossxmix.

Thanks again

Looking at repo it seems that OSS has not been upgraded since about 11 months, so you could exclude that.

You shouldn't have alsa installed.

Thank for the reply tinypoodle,

I have going through the dep for OSS.tcz and notice that

OSS-modules-KERNEL.tcz

Is not there in the repo to download.

Cheers

Hi Hiro,

I was getting to that stage where I was going to get alsa as well...have not walked that path yet.

When you use the apps browser to download the extension it will substitute the appropriate extension for "kernel", i.e OSS-modules-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz or OSS-modules-2.6.33.3-tinycore64.tcz

Thanks Juanito  for the clarification.

Having alsa and OSS concurrently installed could only complicate your situation further.
However, installing OSS_alsa.tcz for support of alsa apps might be a good idea

Hi tinypoodle,

After removing vlc from onboot, ossxmix worked from cli, but it would not work (ossxmix) if both were onboot menu, so i move ossxmix to ondemand and left vlc onboot, still ossxmix will not work....hmmmm.

So in the end I had to move both ossxmix & vlc to ondemand in order for ossxmix to work, this is strange.

As well, evince had to be run as su in the cli, clicking it did not start it, unlike other extensions which work.

What am I doing wrong here?

[curaga]

Not your fault, VLC depends on jack which in turn brings alsa in. To fix it locally, just remove alsa.tcz from jack.tcz.dep.

I seem to recall this dep discussed before, but can't remember the conclusion.
