No sound on Linux with Squeak2.8

Hi William!

I have a similar setup here and sound works fine, although
I'm using a 2.9 vm.

I guess if you are using a fresh image sound should be turned
on by default. (see the attachment where you can check that)

Maybe you want to check on some other things. Is your OSS support
really working? Your other sound applications might use some
kind of sound daemon, like ESD (Enlightened Sound Daemon)
with Gnome and I think KDE has a sound daemon too. You can
check OSS support for example by playing a wav sound file with
bplay instead of aplay in a shell.

If OSS support is working and you are using a sound daemon,
than try to disable that daemon before starting squeak. With ESD
you just have to issue a killall esd or you can use a nifty little tool
like the sound monitor applet to place ESD in standby mode.
I don't know how it works for KDE, but there should be some
description how to deal with that.

So if all that fails you could try to use a 2.9 vm. You can find the
source and some precompiled VMs at
