Sound

[Dmitriy Netchitailo]

I have a sound card Avance Logic Sound 120 (ALS 120). The sndconfig
application (RedHat 6.2) identifies a similar one - ALS 100/110, I configure
IRQ, DMA, I/O range like in Windows, but see the message "Device or resource
is busy".
When I start OSS application (www.opensound.com) it configures my sound card
automatically, but this application is commercial and its usage time is very
short and limited. Maybe someone knows where I can get unlimited free OSS or
some other free application like this or maybe I can configure it manually?

Thank you.

Hi Dmitriy,

I am not familiar with the OSS version that ships with RH6.2, but do you know if it is OSS/Linux or OSS/Free? OSS/Free doesn't have this time limit, which is great if it supports your sound card. OSS/Linux is a commercial product you have to purchase a license for.

Also, you can check out the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture drivers at http://alsa.alsa-project.org. The soundcard matrix lists support for the ALS120 chip set with their als100 driver. ALSA has it's own applications and mixers, links to OSS mixers and other fun stuff.

Keith.

ALSA is free and it worked fine with my ALS 100.
