Hey Guys!
I have a DELL supplied Soundblaster live, so Alsa won't work and I have to use OSS. I got it installed but I can't get support for the 2 rear speakers and the sub.

Any ideas? I tried setting

Code:
sblive_devices=16
softoss_channels=4


but no use.

BTW, they don't give you much time to get it to work 100% before buying... it says three hours... already spent two...

Ok, so now I have no sound... I was going to post some questions in their forum but after I logged in the server whouldn let me into the forum there...

Present standingpoint: OSS SUCKS *SS! but I'll try getting it to work...

And another thing... I think that after spending a shitload of money on a computer and as such, a soundcard... the bloody driver should come with it. The sound wasn't all that great during the short time I had it working either...

Am I going to be forced to use Windows to get good sound if I don't want to put in more money into a computer that already cost me $2000 (At least untill ALSA gets a working driver for this chipset...)?
