mageia There must be something wrong with your cauldron machine, I just installed the package from the repos on a clean cauldron install and I do have both Alsa and OSS as options in the Audio Subsystem settings. I do have sound but I can't test the mic because your server says that password is wrong. Also, we don't give support on manually compiled sources, just our packages. When I use the before mentioned pasuspend command and open mangler via cli it works for me on the compiled version. I removed the compiled version, rebooted my computer and installed the mangler package for x86 from the repo. This still does not give me the choice for alsa only OSS. Is there a setting in the install that would be causing this ? Did I miss something during setup ? I apologize for the password the correct password for the server is btpain123 not btp123. Please advise how I can check to see if my cauldron install is causing the issue. Thank you, FWIW if you want OSS support to work out of the box with PulseAudio, all you need is the osspd package installed. This should ensure that all OSS connections are fed via PA happily without the need for any pasuspend calls and such like. osspd is the generally preferred way to use legacy sound applications these days. I tried to connect to your server and was able to send audio OK (certainly all the levels bounce around and look good!). Don't know about receiving audio but it certainly plays the blinks and plop sounds OK! That said, it might very well make sense to use ALSA sound mode instead. I'm not quite sure how Juan Luis can see the Alsa option (I certainly don't and I don't see any alsa build deps in the package either. Perhaps he's on i586 and it's only on x86_64 that it doesn't show up (perhaps due to a quirk of build requires?) Who knows!! Or perhaps Juan still has his locally build package installed, not the build-system built package - perhaps due to the fact he has the alsa devel packages installed locally it shows up for him? If that's the case, then just adding a build require to the package should be enough (no need to explicitly enable the --with-alsa option. Anyway, I'd rather alsa support was used over oss if possible (oss should die!!! - osspd does help the transition to the grave tho'!) HTHs Would you be referring to this package by chance ? ossp - OSS (Open Sound System) Proxy Daemonâ Yup, that's the one.

You are right, I built the package on my x86_64 cauldron, where I had alsa2-devel already installed. I tried with the package on the repo and indeed it doesn't have the Alsa option. I have added the missing BR for libalsa-devel and send it to the BS. (In reply to Juan Luis Baptiste from comment #6) > You are right, I built the package on my x86_64 cauldron, where I had > alsa2-devel already installed. Pro tip: put the following in your ~/.rpmmacros: %distsuffix .juan That way all the packages you build will be "older" than the ".mga" suffix and thus get upgraded naturally. I do that with mine (tho' I use .csg :D) Closing it as there's no news from the OP, if this issue isn't resolved please reopen this bug. Status:
