I've upgraded one machine to 4.3 Beta (2008-02-23, i386, dmesg below) and there is no audio anymore (it used to work with 3.8). I tried to cat an audio file directly to the device:
$ file gong.au gong.au: Sun/NeXT audio data: 8-bit ISDN u-law, mono, 8000 Hz $ cat gong.au > /dev/audio $ cat gong.au > /dev/sound and mpg123 (playing song36.mp3 with various options), and mplayer, xine, vlc to play some DVDs: video is shown (even though mplayer is "jerky"), but no audio. What can I check next? $ mixerctl outputs.master=199,199 outputs.master.mute=off outputs.mono=255 outputs.mono.mute=off outputs.mono.source=mixerout outputs.headphones=255,255 outputs.headphones.mute=off outputs.surround=255,255 outputs.surround.mute=off outputs.center=255 outputs.center.mute=off outputs.lfe=255 outputs.lfe.mute=off inputs.speaker=255 inputs.speaker.mute=off inputs.phone=191 inputs.phone.mute=off inputs.mic=191 inputs.mic.mute=off inputs.mic.preamp=off inputs.mic.source=mic0 inputs.line=191,191 inputs.line.mute=off inputs.cd=191,191 inputs.cd.mute=off inputs.video=255,255 inputs.video.mute=off inputs.aux=191,191 inputs.aux.mute=off inputs.dac=191,191 inputs.dac.mute=off record.source=mic record.volume=255,255 record.volume.mute=off outputs.extamp=off # I turned off all "mute" fields as stated in the FAQ.
