So I tried miniG4:~$ aplay --device=plughw:1,0 flac/ripit/B/Beatles/Let_It_Be..._Naked/10_Across_The_Universe.flac Playing raw data 'flac/ripit/B/Beatles/Let_It_Be..._Naked/10_Across_The_Universe.flac' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono ^CAborted by signal Interrupt... miniG4:~$ and got static. Which is a huge improvement! At least I'm getting sound, now. Clemens, I appreciate all your interest and support. As I stated originally, the man at the local stereo shop duplicated my environment, albeit on slightly different hardware (macbook G4 vs mini G4). His is working. What differences should I be looking at? On Aug 10, 2013, at 1:28 AM, Clemens Ladisch wrote: > Roger Weinheimer wrote: >> These are the specs from the DAC packaging, fwiw.
