Hey can you please help? The audio icon in task bar of Solaris 10 is strike out.
But osstest command plays the sound fine.
Please give me the commands to fix this
Thanks a lot

Are the oss_sadasupport devices properly setup?

Code: Select all

ls -l /devices/pseudo/oss_sadasupport\@0\:sound\,audio*

They should have the file mode bits set to 0666.

I followed the suggestion for setting the file permissions:

$ chmod 666 /devices/pseudo/oss_sadasupport\@0\:sound\,audio*

That solved my problem. Before doing that, ´osstest´ worked but the sound was out for
non-OSS programs, like rhythmbox. The sound is back now.

Thanks!
