Thks, but I have no module named "snd-pcm-oss", just one named "snd-pcm",
so I think it 's bad.

this is an extract of my .config :

Device driver->Sound->Alsa->oss mixer api <M>
Device driver->Sound->Alsa->OSS PCM (digital audio) API <M>
Device driver->Sound->Alsa->[*] OSS Sequencer API

is it enough to have a module named snd-pcm-oss ?

  Thanks again, best regards
