Powermac Sound Issue with Wallstreet PowerBook

[Jim Gifford]

For over the last few weeks, I've been trying to get sound working on my 
Powerbook G3. I've tried various different things with no luck. Anyone 
got any ideas??

dmasound_pmac: Awacs/Screamer Codec Mfct: 2 Rev 3
input: dmasound beeper as /class/input/input4
PowerMac Screamer  DMA sound driver rev 016 installed
Core driver edition 01.06 : PowerMac Built-in Sound driver edition 00.07
Write will use    4 fragments of   32768 bytes as default
Read  will use    4 fragments of   32768 bytes as default
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.13 (Tue Nov 28 
14:07:24 2006 UTC).
PM: Adding info for platform:snd_powermac

Looks like the problem is that you have both the OSS and the ALSA driver
built into your kernel.  Try removing one of them, preferably the OSS
driver (it's obsolete).
