I run Vendetta on Linux (Slackware) with KDE...
Sound is configured using Alsa-Drivers - KDE's is set to "Open Sound System" and everything works fine...
Vendetta says "Open Sound System driver", too but there is no sound at all :(

H E L P !

greetz Paul!

Is the package "alsa-oss" installed?
Are the volume sliders in Vendetta set to maximum?
If you have alsamixer, set BOTH PCM and Master to 100% (yes, I know this gives distortion on Digital Speakers. It is just as a test).

turn off arts before you run vendetta

Is there something in the console that says /dev/dsp: permission denied when you run Vendetta?

- alsa-oss is installed
- arts is disables
vendetta says (like it did before :-)
"/dev/dsp: Input/output error"

Use this to start up vendetta:

#!/bin/sh
xgamma -q -gamma 2.0
sudo su root -c 'echo "vendetta 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss'
sudo su root -c 'echo "vendetta 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss'
amixer sset PCM,0 28
/usr/local/bin/vendetta
xgamma -q -gamma 1.5
amixer sset PCM,0 24

The key lines are the two sudo lines. THey will tell alsa to behave and allow sound to work.

I saw it in the thread before and successfully tried it ... Thanks indeed

/me laughs at the silly people with unsupported sound cards and goes off to gloat over his SB Live! Value

Huh Rogue? :) This is an alsa thing. IE it's trying to mmap /dev/dsp. The two sudo lines makes it so that Alsa doesn't block the mmap of /dev/dsp. Has nothing to do with "unsupported" sound cards. I've got a SiS 7012 onboard audio card. It's accessed via Alsa's Intel8x0 driver. :) Looks quite supported to me :D

Freaky, what alsa is this? 0.9_rc6? Mine dosen't do anything like that at all...

0.9.2. And it's on the alsa website where it talks about this.

How peculiar... I've never heard of it across 4 ALSA and alsa-oss using machines.
