Hi, sox is installed and play /usr/share/sounds/ekiga/ring.wav produces the sound.
According to https://wiki.debian.org/SoundFAQ cat /usr/share/sounds/ekiga/ring.wav >/dev/dsp should also. In fact it gives nothing but the command prompt. Also, root@dalton:~# ls -ld /dev/snd/b*/* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 258228 Feb 8 11:20 /dev/snd/by-id/usb-0d8c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Feb 8 09:45 /dev/snd/by-id/usb-0d8c_C-Media_USB_Audio_Device-00 -> ../controlC0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Feb 8 09:45 /dev/snd/by-id/usb-0d8c_C-Media_USB_Headphone_Set-00 -> ../controlC1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Feb 8 09:45 /dev/snd/by-path/pci-0000:00:03.0-usb-0:2:1.0 -> ../controlC0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Feb 8 09:45 /dev/snd/by-path/pci-0000:00:03.2-usb-0:1:1.0 -> ../controlC1 And, cat /usr/share/sounds/ekiga/ring.wav > /dev/snd/by-path/pci-0000:00:03.0-usb-0:2:1.0 cat: write error: Invalid argument Invalid argument? It's a sound device. Seems either the wiki is outdated or there is a snag in the system. Ideas? Thanks, ...
