But I did look at the file permissions for the device directory and they were severely messed up. So I have spent the evening doing a clean rebuild and I can again get the oss emulation to work correctly - it will play arbitrary pcm samples. So I think that indicates the kernel side and the device driver are working. But I still seem to have an alsa-lib/alsa-tools problem - viz # aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: AICA [AICA], device 0: AICA PCM [AICA PCM] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 # aplay -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) # aplay /aine-email.wav Playing WAVE '/aine-email.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono ALSA lib pcm_plug.c:773:(snd_pcm_plug_hw_refine_schange) Unable to find an usable access for '(null)' aplay: set_params:895: Access type not available # aplay --device=0 /aine-email.wav ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM 0 aplay: main:545: audio open error: No such file or directory Any clues as to why this would happen? (As I said, this sample will play correctly through oss emulation) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
