Hello, I have a SoundBlaster Live Value using ALSA 0.9.6, driver, lib and utils installed for emu10k1.
I can hear proper sound when using mplayer with a video file. I can hear proper sound with "aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav" When I try "cat /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav > /dev/dsp I hear 'tinny' metallic sounds. When I try "aplay /dev/dspX" I get the same thing or nothing. How do I tell which /dev/dsp? device the output sound should be sent to? ================================ /etc/modules.conf # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 # module options should go here options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1 options snd-emu10k1 index=0 # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss ================================= lspci -vv 02:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!
