Title: changing from oss to alsa
Post by: manit123 on September 01, 2012, 11:14:00 PM

Currently I have oss running particularly the tcz files that are installed are

/dev/loop8              864.0K    864.0K         0 100% /tmp/tcloop/OSS-modules-3.0.21-tinycore
/dev/loop9              692.0K    692.0K         0 100% /tmp/tcloop/OSS
/dev/loop45              24.0K     24.0K         0 100% /tmp/tcloop/ossxmix

I want to run audacity1.3.x it says

Comments:       alsa.tcz has to be set up and running, it is not
      in the dep file per policy, install manually.

So , how can I unload oss modules ?

Use the apps gui to remove them from "onboot" and re-boot

Isn't it possible to unload them right now and load alsa ones without rebooting ?

Technically yes, by unmounting the loop file. But that would be all sorts of follishness because running processes would find themselves without the necessary files to run, and bad things would happen. Better off just doing what was suggested above.
