Thanks for the advice. I had seen the command aplay /dev/dsp as a way of testing audio capture for use with MythTV. Any other hints about how I can test this?

The relevant section of lsmod looks like this:

Hallo,

I'm having a some trouble getting alsa configured correctly on my system. I'm using alsa 0.9.5 on RedHat 9 and my sound hardware is Via 8235 so I'm using the snd-via82xx driver.

I can hear sound from the line-in or the CD input by unmuting and raising the volume so I know something is working right but when I log in, I get this message: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)

If I run aplay /dev/dsp or aplay /dev/dsp0, I get:
Playing raw data '/dev/dsp' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
xrun!!! (at least 0.051 ms long)
xrun!!! (at least 0.090 ms long)


What your command does, is it tries to play the file "/dev/dsp"
through ALSA's "default" device. I don't think, this is what you want. Secondly aplay is an ALSA program. It does not play through the OSS
compatibility layer, which is what playing through /dev/dsp means. To
test /dev/dsp you need to use an OSS software like xmms or such.


Make sure, that the kernel module snd-pcm-oss is loaded. Check with
"lsmod".
