Symptom:
You'd like to use your sound card with a Multiprocessor (Symmetric Multi Proccesor) machine.
Solution:
Open Sound System for Linux is a commercial sound driver. It is fully compatible with the sound driver in the kernel (OSS/Free). This Demo of the newest driver version (3.9.2x) available at the time of release of SuSE Linux 6.3 functions only for a limited time. The newest version can be found at http://www.opensound.com.
Installing Open Sound System:
Please Note! This package includes Commercial Software. After installation be sure to read the license found in the directory /usr/doc/packages/VersionName
(in this example "opsodsmp").
Here's an example using the version "opsodsmp
":
- Login as root and install the package
opsodsmp
from the pay
series.
- Change to the directory
/tmp/opsodsmp-3.9.2x
.
- Read the file
INSTALL
; it includes installation instructions.
- Begin the installation (
./oss-install
).
- Following the instructions given in the installation program, configure the driver.
- You should now be able to turn sound-support on and off with the commands
'soundon'
and 'soundoff'
.
- If you'd like to start OSS at boot add the following line to the file
/sbin/init.d/boot.local
:
/usr/lib/oss/soundon
- The next time you boot your computer OSS should start automatically.
Please Note! OSS requires a specific kernel version! The OSS versions included on the SuSE CDs will (normally) only function with the specific kernel version for which it was compiled. If you'd like to use a different kernel version than that required you'll need to use a different driver as well.
