I noticed this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1517726) from 2010. I downloaded a sample .wav file from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV and ran this:
sudo aplay -Dplughw:0,0 -fcd Downloads/sample.wav It works! I can change the -Dplughw argument and play on both my motherboards rear output and through the USB stick. So there's something being lost in how pulseaudio interacts with this, I think. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1542717 Title: [OEM, Realtek ALC892, Green Line Out, Rear] No sound at all Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm unable to play any sounds. I've tried a few sound methods. - The builtin realtek ALC892 on the motherboard (used for filing this bug) via both the rear port and the front headphone port - Buying a cheap usb stick with some internet reviews that it works on linux (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MSS6CS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) - A displayport monitor with a sound out. All three methods work on a Windows install on the same machine. alsamixer sees all the cards and lets me adjust volumes, but I can't get any sound to actually play. From the sound configuration interface within Gnome I do get a weird bug. See the screencast; I try to switch to line out and test the speakers but the popup window title reflects another card.
