[Fwd: [AG-TECH] AG audio indigestion]

[Bob Riddle]

never mind.  I upgraded to the latest OSS drivers which installed a new
service called "oss" in /etc/rc.d/init.d.  I noticed the old services
was still there, so I deleted the old "oss-sound" script, rebooted the
machine & it now makes sound when running the Real Player.  Upward &
onward.

(I gotta get a life ....)

One of my AG audio machines suffered a power outage and fsck'd itself to
death.  Since it was a machine with an i810 display chip & the Software
page indicated you could install the AG audio stuff on Redhat 7.1, I
installed RedHat 7.1 on machine and then ran the update script from the
AG Software download pages.

I still have no sound .. I get a message from the log:
 agaudio oss-sound: Starting sound configuration:
agaudio oss-sound: OSS driver (sndshield) is already loaded
agaudio oss-sound: Use soundoff to unload it and try again.

agaudio last message repeated 2 times
agaudio rc: Starting oss-sound:  succeeded

Any quick advice?  I noticed in /usr/lib/oss it says it support 2.4.12.
The other audio machine that works is a machine I built a 2.4.12 kernel
on.  I'm also wondering if I need to get a new oss license for RH 7.1

sheesh ... a bad time for a power hit on a disk.
