/dev/dsp is not working for me currently. It gives an error message on the console and no sound from the speakers, which echo '^G' shows are working. /dev/null is working as expected.
I reinstalled cygwin -- no improvement. I played a bit with it to see if the error messages might give a hint. No such luck for me but maybe it will say something to one of the cygwizards. /c/WINDOWS/Media> cat TADA.WAV > /dev/dsp cat: write error: Permission denied /c/WINDOWS/Media> cat tada.wav > /dev/null /c/WINDOWS/Media> cmd /c type tada.wav > /dev/dsp The handle is invalid. /c/WINDOWS/Media> cat tada.wav | tr 'x' 'x' > /dev/dsp tr: write error: Permission denied tr: write error /c/WINDOWS/Media> cat tada.wav | tr 'x' 'x' > /dev/null /c/WINDOWS/Media> cat tada.wav | tr 'x' 'x' | /dev/dsp bash: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory - Barry
