After running amixer to set up the card I am still unable to play.

Does "aplay something.wav" work?

The aplay command requires options that I am not familiar with.  I would 
like
to play cd's from my cdrom ( aplay needs a filename which I was not
able guess ),
mp3 music and streaming audio from the internet. aplay needs a file type,
sampling rate, format, and file name. Can you recommend some source
where I
might be able to determine the correct values for these options when
playing
cd's, mp3 files, and streaming audio from the internet with aplay.


It seems like I should be able to play a cd with workbone

This player assumes that there is an audio cable between the CD drive
and the sound chip.

Good reason why this player doesnt work.


which I have used since 1998

On the same machine?

No.  I bought a new Gateway Desktop that I am trying to set up.  This is 
to replace an old
Dell on which workbone worked as well as my two old Gateway Laptops.

Thanks for this input.  When I tried to guess some values and make aplay 
work I did get
some sound from my speakers. I think you have me on the right track.

Bob,

check 'cdparanoia' - it's a program which rips CDs into .wav files with good
quality. And you may rip only a track or even less.

'aplay' is the "canonical" application used to test ALSA and "officially"
supported by ALSA developers. The counterpart of 'aplay' is 'arecord'.

Sergei:

Thanks for getting me over the cdrom hurdle.  I tried the program and it copied part
of a cd for me.  However when I tried to play it with aplay, it said it was playing
"Playing Wave 'cdda.wav' : Signed : 16 bit Little endian, Rate 44100 Stereo " but
still no sound.

When I booted up after setting up amixer and /etc/asound.state was read, it gave this
message " Failed to obtain info for control #15 ( Invalid argument ) amixer: Control
default snd_hctl_elem_info error: Invalid argument.

I attach a copy of my setup.

Thanks for any additional ideas you might have for me.

Bob
