nForce drivers + Dapper = Dead ALSA and ESD

[adiment]

I installed the nForce driver for audio on Ubuntu Dapper so I could skype/teamspeak + game at the same time and it works great. However ALSA doesn't seem to know that my sound card exists. I'm no guru, so not sure where to go from here. I can ONLY use OSS.

lsmod | grep snd:

 * Setting up ALSA...  * warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: load_state:1236: No soundcards found...'... [ ok ]

Any suggestions? :confused:

Is nvsound actually an ALSA driver?  If OSS works then I'd say that nvsound is a driver for OSS and that they'd need to write a different one for ALSA to work.

You're right. nvsound is only OSS. Pirate Penguin IM'ed me and helped me get everything to use OSS instead of ALSA. Big thanks to him!
