Problem: I have no sound at all, at least, no volume, anyway. I'm using the latest 2.2.15pre19 kernel from Paul McKerras.
I see this message at boot: DMA sound driver installed, using 4 buffers of 32k. cat /dev/sndstat yields: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /dev/sndstat PowerMac (AWACS rev 3) DMA sound driver: sound.format = 0x20 (signed 16 bit big) sound.speed = 44100Hz (phys. 44100Hz) sound.stereo = 0x1 (stereo) sq.block_size = 32768 sq.max_count = 4 sq.max_active = 4 sq.count = 0 sq.rear_size = 2284 sq.playing = 0 sq.syncing = 0 I've got a /dev/audio, and a /dev/dsp. I tried to cat a .au file to /dev/audio, but nothing happens. This: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/sndkit/dsp$ cat endoftheworld >/dev/dsp ... pushes the CPU load up enormously, until I kill it with control c. Looking at the gnome mixer, all the volume levels are cranked up. I can play sound under MacOS 9. I'm out of ideas now, so any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'd settle for a simple system beep at this point :-) Stephen
