(I wrote this message last night but I think my Fedora ate it. Here it is - my apologies if it's a repeat.) Hi, I don't think sending this message is going to work. As with every Linux upgrade, I'm having trouble getting mail out from at least one of my accounts... Yesterday I mentioned that my sound card is working. The program I used to adjust the volume is, of course, aumix - not aumixer which there ain't none. I installed MPlayer today and, if I understand its output, it thinks I'm using OSS drivers. So maybe they just improved OSS, or maybe I misinterpret MPlayer. Who knows - I don't at this point. :-) I can play CDs with the following alias: alias playcd="cdda2wav -eqNB -D/dev/cdrom 2>/dev/null" -e: Echo to sound card -q: Quiet (not very!) -N: Don't record the CD while playing it -B: (in this context) Play the whole CD -D: The device name Note that I also get rid of stderr since cdda2wav doesn't really like my CD player no matter what device I use or what interface type I specify. It plays, though, so I just put the warnings in the black hole. I imagine there's a better way to play CDs. Hmm - trplayer? Anyway, this one's good enough for somebody who claims to have executed aumixer. <Grin> Lee _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
