I'm suggesting that instead of aplay -l that you look in /proc/asound instead: aplay requires a lot of things to be working before it reports anything at all. /proc/asound will be there even if nothing works and will certainly include useful information even when aplay doesn't do anything useful. > As today seems that a lot of folks are biased towards the UDEV thing.... > I tried... It's not bias, it's a question of using what is known to work. Note that among other things, udev handles the cases where the major and minor numbers for a device aren't fixed.
