aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav

plays here. I used

alsactl store -f aplay-audible1.state

to save my alsa settings at

http://iki.fi/lindi/openmoko/aplay-audible1.state

Can you please compare this against yours?

 2. xfmedia doesn't start at all. An attempt to start the program from
 a shell, too, doesn't give any output or error message.

Can you try mplayer first? I can install xfmedia too if it really has
some openmoko specific issue but I'd like to hear if mplayer works for
you first.

 3. The ring tone is just a lousy noise.

You mean you don't like the tune? ;-) I don't like it either and it's
also non-free so it's going to change anyway. If you know python you
can fix this from the source code (apt-get source fso-frameworkd and
search for .sid).

 4. During a phone call, voices are poorly transmitted (noisy), for me
 as well as for the recipient.

That is bit more complex issue. It would definitely help if we could
record some standard test call.

Sound problems under Debian

2008-08-30 Thread Sven Bretfeld
Hello

I've just succeeded to install Debian on the Freerunner together with
xfce4 following the instructions in
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner and
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian. 

Most things run fine and just as expected. 

There are, however, sound problems. The Wiki doesn't give any special
instruction on sound, like installing a new alsa-package or building a
kernel module. Can I have overlooked anything?

1. There seems to be no sound at all. 'aplay file.wav' just pretends
to play but neither gives any output nor returns the cursor.

2. xfmedia doesn't start at all. An attempt to start the program from
a shell, too, doesn't give any output or error message.

3. The ring tone is just a lousy noise.

4. During a phone call, voices are poorly transmitted (noisy), for me
as well as for the recipient.

Help would be very welcome. Everything is working alright under the
default system. So, a hardware defect can be excluded.

Thanks

Sven
