Hi all: My Feisty box wouldn't do ALSA; I finally deleted .asoundrc (left in my home directory from Edgy) and bingo. No more OSS. Hello ALSA. So it was a problem of an old conf file interfering with me. I still have one maddening problem from the Feisty install: Sound Juicer won't play or rip CDs properly. It plays them, and rips them, but I am hearing what sounds like unconverted raw bitstream -- horrible chirping noise. I am able to play previously-ripped files; I just can't rip any new ones. I wonder if this is a similar problem -- an old conf file? Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, please chime in.
