I can confirm that my userid is in the cdrom and audio groups. I haven't checked the cable connections yet, but I plan to do that tomorrow. But the problem seems to be more systemic. I can't seem to get aplay to work on a .wav file. It runs, and it generates messages on the screen, but no sound. > > Pulseaudio isn't on my system but isn't it a daemon? Wouldn't stopping > it allow you to eliminate it as a cause? pulseaudio is a "depends" (not a "recommends") dependency of gnome-core; so I can't de-install it. As for killing the daemon, gnome automatically re-spawns pulseaudio if I kill the daemon. I have to stop gnome. But even then, no output from playing audio CDs and no output from aplay. Yet, gnome can generate sounds. Maddening. -- .''`. Stephen Powell : :' : `. `'` `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
