I made an unfortunate discovery today that audio no longer works on my laptop (a Thinkpad X21, which is running testing). I had it working a month or two ago, but haven't used audio much since, so I don't know when it stopped working. In fact, I had it working both for recording and playing sound.
I've been testing it using both `play test.au` and `cat test.au > /dev/audio`. I also tried running timidity on a midi file, as well as festival (which was how I found out I had this problem). I checked that the devices exist, and I ran aumix to see that the sound output is actually turned on. The sound card is a CS4281, and support for it is compiled into my kernel. Just in case, I tried rebooting with several older kernels, in case something broke recently in the kernel. I am at the end of my rope here, and am very frustrated. :( Any ideas as to how I could go about trouble-shooting this would be greatly appreciated. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
