I had to reinstall the OS duer to a HD failure. Sound worked prior to that. computation@abnormal:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Solo1 [ESS ES1938 (Solo-1)], device 0: es-1938-1946 [ESS Solo-1] Subdevices: 2/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 When I run speaker-test I get the following: computation@abnormal:~$ sudo speaker-test [sudo] password for computation: speaker-test 1.0.25 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 32 to 16384 Period size range from 32 to 16384 Using max buffer size 16384 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 4096 was set buffer_size = 16384 0 - Front Left Write error: -5,Input/output error xrun_recovery failed: -5,Input/output error Transfer failed: Operation not permitted I would appreciate a pointer to the solution.

Alsmixer found the soundcard and all of the functions keys worked .I attempted to do this, but alsamixer was nonresponsive, For instance 'M' did not unmute the master Going on with the testing. root@abnormal:/home/computation# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Solo1 ]: ES1938 - ESS ES1938 (Solo-1) ESS ES1938 (Solo-1) rev 0, irq 17 1 [U0x46d0x807 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x807 USB Device 0x46d:0x807 at usb-0000:00:02.1-3, high speed root@abnormal:/home/computation# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Solo1 ]: ES1938 - ESS ES1938 (Solo-1) ESS ES1938 (Solo-1) rev 0, irq 17 1 [U0x46d0x807 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x807 USB Device 0x46d:0x807 at usb-0000:00:02.1-3, high speed root@abnormal:/home/computation# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Solo1 ]: ES1938 - ESS ES1938 (Solo-1) ESS ES1938 (Solo-1) rev 0, irq 17 1 [U0x46d0x807 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x807 USB Device 0x46d:0x807 at usb-0000:00:02.1-3, high speed root@abnormal:/home/computation# lspci | grep Audio 01:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1938/ES1946/ES1969 Solo-1 Audiodrive (rev 01) root@abnormal:/home/computation# lspci -v -01:01.0 lspci: invalid option -- '0' Usage: lspci [<switches>] Basic display modes: -mm Produce machine-readable output (single -m for an obsolete format) -t Show bus tree Display options: -v Be verbose (-vv for very verbose) -k Show kernel drivers handling each device -x Show hex-dump of the standard part of the config space -xxx Show hex-dump of the whole config space (dangerous; root only) -xxxx Show hex-dump of the 4096-byte extended config space (root only) -b Bus-centric view (addresses and IRQ's as seen by the bus) -D Always show domain numbers Resolving of device ID's to names: -n Show numeric ID's -nn Show both textual and numeric ID's (names & numbers) -q Query the PCI ID database for unknown ID's via DNS -qq As above, but re-query locally cached entries -Q Query the PCI ID database for all ID's via DNS Selection of devices: -s [[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]] Show only devices in selected slots -d [<vendor>]:[<device>] Show only devices with specified ID's Other options: -i <file> Use specified ID database instead of /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz -p <file> Look up kernel modules in a given file instead of default modules.pcimap -M Enable `bus mapping' mode (dangerous; root only) PCI access options: -A <method> Use the specified PCI access method (see `-A help' for a list) -O <par>=<val> Set PCI access parameter (see `-O help' for a list) -G Enable PCI access debugging -H <mode> Use direct hardware access (<mode> = 1 or 2) -F <file> Read PCI configuration dump from a given file root@abnormal:/home/computation# cat /proc/asound/modules 0 snd_es1938 1 snd_usb_audio root@abnormal:/home/computation# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Solo1 [ESS ES1938 (Solo-1)], device 0: es-1938-1946 [ESS Solo-1] Subdevices: 2/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 I didn't bother testing the default sound card (Step 6) as I know that it works.
