Hello everyone,

I am new to the world of OpenIndiana. I've enjoyed it for the most part so far, but have had a couple problems. The most frustrating of which is the lack of audio output on my ThinkPad W541. There is no playback from the laptop speakers or any output through the headphone port, no matter what I do or the volume settings.

The only time I have got sound to play is while attempting to diagnose the issue using the "audiotest" command.

After running 'audioctl list-devices', I got audiohd#0 and audiohd#1.

While running 'audiotest,' nothing played under audiohd#0 and it took a long time for the test to conclude. Sound did play through the headphone port using audiohd#1, and the test concluded as it should. However, after the test concluded, I still have no audio from anything.

Also, when I get audio working, is there a software package that will allow me to playback MP3, WAV, Ogg/Vorbis or AU formats? I looked for VLC Media Player and ffmpeg on the package repository but didn't see anything. I have been using TiMidity++ to play and convert MIDI files (which I can only listen to on another computer), but would like to have greater audio playback capabilities if possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
