12 these are the OSS devices, these days emulated by ALSA.

14 As OSS is deprecated, go to the control center, soundsystem, hardware
15 and choose ALSA.
16
17 Unfortunately this will not help applications which are still written to
18 use OSS (like firefox, Skype and so on). If you need them, you need to
19 figure out what goes wrong with the OSS emulation of ALSA. Maybe a prob
20 of improper device rights (try an app which needs OSS as root)?
