I have a few low-level questions which I am a bit embarrassed by, though hopefully with your help, I can figure a few things out. I recently installed Fedora17 on my machine with the XFCE window manager and I am now just trying to play a sound file with "aplay". The command executes but no sound comes out of my speakers. In addition of the NVidia sound chip on my mother board, I have a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 which is the card that is hooked up to my amplifier/speakers. In the "Applications Menu" there is a "mixer" applications with a "Sound card": drop box with the following options: > HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer) > FG0560 Live! Cam Optia AF (Alsa mixer) > M Audio Audiophile 24.96 (Alsa mixer) > Playback: ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer) > Playback: Internal Audio Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer) > Capture: VF0560 Live! Cam Optia AF Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer) > Capture: Monitor of ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer) > Capture: ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer) > Capture: Monitor of internal Audio Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer) > Capture: Internal Audio Analog Stereo (PulseAudio Mixer) I assume I don't want the NVidia choice, but which of the others do I choose and why? Also, in the "Applications Menu" there are the following: "ALSA Mixer" "Envy 24 Control" "Pulse Audio Volume Control" Do I want to adjust any of these so that I can hear audio out of my sound card? Thank you. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
