/usr/bin/play, from the sox package, is a simple command-line audio (.au or .wav) player. From your sound card's perspective, playing a wav is as good a test as playing an ogg or an mp3; the latter are just preprocessed by your CPU before being fed to the sound card. > ogg's.

If you get a sound (something like a recorded voice, as opposed to a synthesized MIDI sound), your soundcard is able to play PCM (wav) audio. This also indicates that your mixer has sane values for the main volume on your card (not muted, not turned way down). It doesn't, however, imply that the FM synth channel is neither muted nor turned down. You'll need to check your mixer settings if you find that PCM (wav) audio is playing audibly and MIDI is not. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.debian.org/ Set your computer Free.
