moc on kubuntu hardy with creative x-fi and oss, can't read from mixer

Forums:

I've installed on 2 machines, and it works beautifully with alsa... last machine (with the best speakers of course) has a creative x-fi inside; it's using oss and is giving me trouble. moc will open and play audio no problem, but I can't see volume levels or adjust them; I'm simply told 'can't read from mixer.'

The following are the relevant settings:


SoundDriver = OSS
OSSDevice = /dev/dsp
OSSMixerDevice = /dev/mixer0
OSSMixerChannel = pcm
OSSMixerChannel2 = master

Any thoughts?

exactly the same problem as the original poster described. Since I can use ossxmix fine, I wonder if something has changed (permissions?)

I'm having the same problem, but I'm not using the legacy configurations:

SoundDriver = OSS
OSSDevice = /dev/oss/oss_envy24ht0/pcm0
OSSMixerDevice = /dev/oss/oss_envy24ht0/mix0
OSSMixerChannel = pcm
OSSMixerChannel2 = master

I got the device and mixer through ossinfo. Also, instead of a Creative X-Fi, I have an M-Audio Revolution 5.1.
