Both of your replies have brought out some issues that I didn't mention - and I apologize.
I'm so used to what I do on that old laptop that I forgot to say... The sound is not PCI (I read somewhere and the stat sheet says it's ISA) I'm on a strict diet of CLI only. The laptop is not 'fast' enough for me to bother with X. I'll try redirecting the .wav file out to /dev/dsp and it said that there was no such file or directory. As for the suggestion to use lsmod and lspci - I really don't know what I'm doing. lspci doesn't look like it says anything about sound (which fits with my previous statement that I failed to mention earlier), and lsmod has a _ton_ of stuff. When I run... lsmod | grep "snd" ... I get a short list of... snd_pcm_oss, snd_pcm, snd_page_alloc, snd_timer, snd_mixer_oss, snd, soundcore ... with other stuff that I'm not sure if you need me to type in here. I don't know enough about XMMS or MPlayer to know if what you suggested will work on a command line (is that how you say it?) instead of on a desktop. -Rich -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
