Hi, after following the instructions to setup loud speaker paging from my sound card, asterisk won’t startup. Here is the guide i followed: voip-info.org/wiki/view/Sett … sound+card
im using a clean install of asterisk @ home 2.2. i have only created one simple extention for my softphone to use, that used to work fine before i tried addding paging, but now asterisk just won’t startup cuz chan_oss.so failed to load…
it says dsp not found, im assuming thats my sound card device. however, when i goto amp’s sysinfo page it shows that it detected my sound card as this:
Here are the last few lines in the asterisk log (if you want the whole log, just lemme know):

I tried initially using onboard sound card, with no sucess, so I installed a PCI card, same problem. I also recompiled inbetween but still to no avail.
I read somewhere there was a problem with the chan_oss driver, so to rename the old driver that they still include. I then recompiled and I’m getting closer. Now looking in my log file i’m seeing the following:
