Sound Card Driver incorrect

[Kristofer Persson]

Thanks Pedro, when I rebuild the kernel with no sound or sound drivers, the OS goes into a kernel panic boot loop when OSS loads, it does it even with the card out of the machine so the OSS driver is not quiet working right either.  Kris

That was not very recently. It was tested and known to work, unfortunately the driver never really worked for all cards.

I will take a look to see if I find something strange but you could also try with /usr/ports/audio/oss
