jonty@Hardcore101:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Audigy ]: Audigy - Audigy 1 [SB0090]
Audigy 1 [SB0090] (rev.3, serial:0x531102) at
0xcc00, irq 11
jonty@Hardcore101:~$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14.
Compiled on Aug 7 2007 for kernel 2.6.20-15-generic (SMP).
jonty@Hardcore101:~$
And speaker-test yielded seemed to run fine, but nothing came out the
speakers. This is something that I find interesting; I don't understand it
at all:
jonty@Hardcore101:~$ play Noah_final.wav
Input Filename : Noah_final.wav
Sample Size : 16-bits
Sample Encoding: signed (2's complement)
Channels : 2
Sample Rate : 44100
Time: 00:04.33 [05:33.95] of 05:38.28 ( 1.3%) Output Buffer: 190.82K
Done.
And no sound. At all -- the speaker adn amps work fine, everything is
connected up properly, everything is up in alsamixer and the faders have
been moved up and down -- still nothing.
I don't get it. Any ideas?
