I tried the below commands and received an error regarding a broken configuration:
"mich...@michael-ubuntu:~$ aplay -D plughw:0 /usr/share/sounds/question.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/question.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2135:(snd1_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable aplay: set_params:932: Broken configuration for this PCM: no configurations available" Any idea what this means?
