Hi Frederico, Thanks for your response. I get the following: [robo9@robo9 dev]$ ls -l /dev/snd total 0 crw------- 1 root root 116, 0 Feb 8 11:21 controlC0 crw------- 1 root root 116, 16 Feb 8 11:21 pcmC0D0p crw------- 1 root root 116, 1 Feb 8 11:21 seq crw------- 1 root root 116, 33 Feb 8 11:21 timer which confirms my suspicion. I changed group to audio and added user to that group. I changed permission. But still no luck. I get the following from aplay: [robo9@robo9 Desktop]$ aplay BWV535.wav ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3492:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3492:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:1072:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3492:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device ALSA lib conf.c:3961:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device ALSA lib pcm.c:2099:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default aplay: main:547: audio open error: No such device Any further suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
