I'm sure this is a redundant question, but have you enabled oss sound for alsa?
If you do an 'lsmod' is 'snd-seq-oss' present? Do you have /dev/dsp
present? I
have problems with TV because my provider serves a mashup of unencrypted HD
digital using over the air frequencies, encrypted content requiring a cable box,
and unencrypted NTSC using either the broadcast or cable settings for those.
/etc/modules.d/dis-oss.conf is the disabled file, copy to oss.conf and uncomment
the module loading, and see if that make lots of stuff work. Note: it may
confuse something as well, although I haven't had a problem yet.
Actually it is not a redundant question. It is a good reminder which I
will try in the morning. I tried it early on in process, when I first
stepped onto the TV yellow brick road. It didn't work, but then to be
fair at that time I didn't have a clue about what I was trying to do.
Now is a good time to give it another try.
