The equations for linear, nonadiabatic, nonradial oscillations have been solved for models with 7, 12, and 20 solar masses in the core-hydrogen burning and hydrogen exhaustion phases. Although the nonadiabatic periods are essentially the same as those of the corresponding adiabatic ones for those models investigated, the e-folding times for the oscillation amplitude are considerably different from the results of a quasi-adiabatic analysis, in particular for f and p modes. All the modes investigated are stable. However, the opacity bump near the He(+) ionization zone has a destabilizing influence on nonradial modes in the 7 solar-mass models about as strong as on purely radial oscillations. The effective temperatures of the 12 solar-mass and 20 solar-mass models are too high for the opacity bump mechanism to be effective as a destabilizing mechanism for nonradial modes. For the g(+) modes another driving zone exists in the intermediate-to-high temperature region.
