Having never gotten the Voxware sound drivers to work with my generic
SoundBlaster compatible board, I decided to give the 4Front folks a chance
and installed OSS. Everything appears to be fine: the software recognizes
my sound board, installs correctly, 'soundon' appears to run fine.
However, I still can't play any sound files. Every time I try, I get the
message:
/dev/dsp: Device not configured.
I get this when manually 'cat'ing files, as well as when I run the included
sample programs. All the Voxware drivers have been removed from my kernel.
The only audio device is pca0.
Here's the output from /dev/sndstat:
/usr/lib/oss >cat /dev/sndstat
