    to remove OSS if possible.

    Do you really need to?

    I simply install alsa and pulse audio to get decent audio
    I think pulse audio runs over OSS. Not sure. Stuff always 'just worked'
    for me so I never dug deeper

    I'm surprized that OSS is enabled on a stock PiOS.
    You may have a the file

    /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf

    present, or a similar name.
    Move that file to /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf.off
    and reboot.

    What version of "stock raspberry PI OS" contains that installed?

    Can you not

    sudo apt purge oss-*

    The only one I found that I run headless and only recently started
    streaming music with mplayer and online radio sources. My syncterm
    install shows oss as the driver installed - that's all I know.


    Can you not

    sudo apt purge oss-*

    I tried that.

    Thank you I will try that and inform.
