You can also try the ALSA drivers which are free. The native PD support for them is not as good as the OSS support, but they provide excellent OSS emulation (though there is sometimes a problem with them reporting full duplex as supported even though it is).

they resolved them. I have PD running under Mandrake Linux 6.0 using the Opensound drivers with an AWE 32 Soundblaster card. Everything installs ok. When I try running PD I get the following errors:

OSS: device Nr. 1 on /dev/dsp OSS: failed to open /dev/dsp writeonly OSS: requiring extra adc handles OSS: failed to open /dev/dsp read only advance 13230 samples, samplerate = 4100.000000 inputchannels = 0, outputchannels = 0 MIDIlib: Found one MIDI port on /dev/midi audio I/O stuck... closing audio and MIDI

    I had PD running with the drivers that came with my Linux distribution but

the test sound was "stuttering." Deciding that it was a driver problem and I purchased the Opensound driver. Now I get this error. I also have PD running fine under NT on the same machine (duel boot system.) However, I need to use serial objects that Guenter wrote for Linux.

Best, Elliot Anderson
