That would be "sox wls.wav -t ossdsp /dev/dsp". > That produces good sound. Trying "sox jesus.au -t ossdsp /dev/dsp" also gives usable output, but not great. But that may just be a bad recording (I just did a quick search on the web for a sound file and found this one, so it may not be a good test file). > > > When I run "splay wls.wav", I get pretty sound.

And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein Just for kicks, I just recompiled my kernel again, taking out the ES1370 support and leaving only the ES1371 support. Now on boot-up I got: es1371: version v0.11 time 13:52:44 Feb 16 2000 es1371: found adapter at io 0x1080 irq 11 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 es1371: codec vendor CRY revision 3 es1371: codec features Headphone out 18bit DAC 18bit ADC es1371: stereo enhancement: no 3D stereo enhancement and a little further down is: es1371: dma timed out?? es1371: dma timed out?? es1371: dma timed out?? Thanks for the help!
