Hi Clemens, Thanks for your reply. Still the problem is not solved. I have downloaded the followings packages from the site www.alsa-project.org and built them for arm. 1. alsa-lib-1.0.14 2. alsa-utils-1.0.14 Configuring and Building instructions pwd /home/tharma/alsa-packages cd alsa-lib-1.0.14 ./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=$PWD/install CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- make make install cd ../alsa-utils-1.0.14 ./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=$PWD/install CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux CFLAGS=-I/home/tharma/alsa-packages/alsa-lib-1.0.14/install/include LDFLAGS=-I/home/tharma/alsa-packages/alsa-lib-1.0.14/install/lib make make install I have got the share/alsa directory in the alsa-lib package. I have downoaded this diretory to the /usr/share/ path in my target board. But still the aplay application fails to open the alsa device.
