Can you playback sound using other 32 bit apps? e.g. using the 32 bit
version of aplay?
I have aplay but don't know if it's 32bit or not.
If you have a 64 bit distro installed, then aplay will be 64 bit - running:
file `which aplay`
should confirm this. To run the 32 bit version you will need to download
the 32 bit (i386) alsa-utils RPM - but don't install it. Extract the 32
bit aplay binary by doing something like:
cd /tmp
rpm2cpio alsa-utils-1.0.6-6.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv ./usr/bin/aplay
However, as you are running CentOS4, you will need to make sure the
snd_ioctl32 kernel module is loaded - it isn't by default i.e.
modprobe snd_ioctl32
Then test with the 32 bit aplay:
alsaunmute 0
/tmp/usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav
What type of sound card do you have?
class: AUDIO
bus: PCI
detached: 0
driver: snd-via82xx
desc: "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller"
vendorId: 1106
deviceId: 3059
subVendorId: 1043
subDeviceId: 812a
pciType: 1
pcidom: 0
pcibus: 0
pcidev: 11
pcifn: 5
Same as mine ... however, I had lots of issues with 32 bit apps and
sound on 64 bit CentOS4 (not necessarily this sound card) - in the end I
'upgraded' to the ALSA 1.0.15 kernel drivers, libs and utils - which
works much better
