'aplay -D plughw:0 test.wav" did not make any difference. This is on a 400MHz armv5te processor. cat /proc/asound/card0/stream0 shows the following for the sound card: Playback: Status: Stop Interface 1 Altset 1 Format: S16_LE Channels: 2 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ADAPTIVE) Rates: 48000, 44100 Capture: Status: Stop Interface 2 Altset 1 Format: S16_LE Channels: 1 Endpoint: 2 IN (SYNC) Rates: 48000, 44100 In my naivety, would I have any better luck telling aplay to select the 44100 Hz output rate and resample 220500 to 44100 instead? How would I even do that?
