[Sheflug] Groovy Sounds of Mozart and Beethoven

[Richard <nospam [at] sheflug.co.uk>]

Dear All

Anyone know what this might be about ?

I've set up sound on my notebook with SuSE 6.4 and then typed in
'soundon' to switch on the OSS sound module.  It works.  I get an ear
splitting screeching noise out of it just before I hit the off button.
It's very painful.

Several people think that I can get round this by turning down the
microphone settings on Kmix.  Stops the feedback between the speakers
and the microphone.

However, when I try to start Kmix I get the following error
message....

"kmix: Could not open mixer.
Perhaps you have no permission to access the mixer device.
Login as root and do a 'chmod a+rw /dev/mixer*' to allow access"

I've done that several times and re-installed the rpm that is Kmix. 
Still won't work.  Any ides how to get round this one ?

Thanks
