If the card has more than one output device you may need to also give a second value, so use something like -D hw:0,1 instead. What does "aplay -l" give you? If you have installed pulse and have it running, it may have altered things. I found this myself from having used pulse. Slainte, Jim Hi Jim, aplay -l gives me this: *** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: M2496 [M Audio Audiophile 24/96], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 When I type the following command my DACs are working (Analog Outputs): $ aplay -D plughw:1 /tmp/Track6.wav The card number can also be M2496 or even 1,0. Now I know that the analog outs work :-) The negative part is that the s/pdif output then does not work. If I drop the 'plug' in front of hw the 'Playing WAVE...' line comes and then also 'aplay: set_params:1053: Sample format not available Available formats: -S32_LE If I use Vlc and with my Fedora 13 play music through the S/PDIF outputs of the card the aplay command returns 'aplay: main:654: audio open error: Device or resource busy. Just in case you should ask me for some outputs from console commands is there a quick way to copy them to the copy/paste buffer?
