I really do appreciate it. But nothing seems to work at the moment.
I did the 'play --device=/dev/sound/dsp a_sound_file_in_wav_format.wav' command as you suggested and the .wav file played nicely. I checked the KMix settings and Pcm is at the same level as my CD and general Volume settings. I open XMMS and try to play a .wav fils...it looks to be runing yet no sound issues from the speakers. I open Kaboodle to try another sound program and the same happens....the .wav files looks to be playing, yet no sound issues from speakers. This is maddening... Any other ideas? Anyone?
