As usually the RH sound doesn't work, unfortunately the usual place where I could get a working code ( http://www.4front-tech.com/ossfree ) says it's no longer there, and IT REALLY ISN'T. NEED HELP. If anyone knows where I can get the Hannu Savolainen's version of OSS/Free, please tell me ( it was there some days/weeks ago, even the version for the 2.0.36 kernel - I checked it, but now ... it's gone ). Please help, Jacek. PS. If anyone cares - what's wrong with RH5.2 sound - sndconfig recognizes my card as ES1868 ( not bad ), then it modifies the /etc/conf.modules ( and what it does there is o.k. ). It also creates /etc/isapnp.conf, but I remove it - my card if fully configured by my bios. Then it loads all required modules and the /etc/sndconfig looks well, but ... it doesn't really work : 1. "cat sample.au > /dev/audio" works 2. "cat something.wav > /dev/dsp" produces terrible noise, just like I was doing "cat something.wav > /dev/audio", or "cat something.au > /dev/dsp" 3. "dd bs=8k count=4 < /dev/audio > sample.au" works, I can also get the recorded sample.au played using "cat ... > /dev/audio" 4. "dd bs=8k count=4 < /dev/dsp > sample.wav" works, I can also get the recorded sample.wav played using "cat ... > /dev/dsp" 5. none of recored samples ( from points 3. and 4. ) is in correct format - I cannot play them in Win95 ( I can play the original sample.au used in point 1., which contains the voice of Linus, how he pronounces Linux, in Win95 without problems ) 6. "playmidi -f something.mid" ( opl3 ) doesn't work at all - the program simply exits as soon as it is started, "playmidi -r -f something.mid" produces core dump as soon as it is started 7. "playmidi -e (-D0) something.mid" ( uart401+WaveTable ? ) doesn't work at all - the program does something ( you can see that it "plays" if you use the "-r" flag ), but there is no single sound to be heard Jacek.
