Yes, that's what you need. > Running "modprobe es1371" doesn't show any output, and when I then try to > "sox wls.wav" or "sox jesus.au", I get: > > sox: Usage: [ gopts ] [ fopts ] ifile [ fopts ] ofile [ effect [ effopts ] ] > > Failed at: No output file? > > (I think maybe I'm not providing sox with enough parameters.) Sorry. That would be "sox wls.wav -t ossdsp /dev/dsp". > When I run "splay wls.wav", I get pretty sound. When I run "splay jesus.au" > I get no output, either audio or text.
