CD audio doesn't go through the WAV (/dev/dsp) device. It goes straight through your sound card's mixer and out to the speakers. > I also trying `bplay', and catting the file to the audio device: > > # bplay /usr/lib/tkdesk/sounds/halt.au > bplay: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy > > # cat /usr/lib/tkdesk/sounds/halt.au > /dev/dsp > bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy > > # cat /usr/lib/tkdesk/sounds/halt.au > /dev/audio > bash: /dev/audio: Device or resource busy Try 'fuser /dev/audio' to see who's using the device--it's probably that au daemon. > Any hints? > Does the fact that CDs play mean that audio files should also? No, as I explained above. Or is > could my sound card still not be correctly setup? Yup this could be it. Your WAV audio could also be mutted out in the mixer (this is unlikely I think). bplay never worked right for me anyway. wavplay I like alot. What do you get from 'cat /dev/sndstat') ASIDE: How come we have /dev/sndstat rather than something under /proc? -- Jens B.
