Should "cat chime.au >/dev/audio" work under SuSE 9.2
I installed version 9.2 today and part of my requirements is being able to cat an *.au file to /dev/audio. The command hangs the command line and the system never makes a sound. I have to kill the process. Is there something about the sound configuration under 9.2 which would prevent this operation. It works great under SuSE 8.2. Thanks for any inputs to solve this problem. -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) ---- 2.4.20-4GB-athlon --- Sun 11/21/04 15:10 3:10pm up 1:08, 3 users, load average: 0.37, 0.35, 0.32

I tried "cat chime.au > /dev/dsp" under SuSE 9.2 and 8.2 under 9.2 there was no sound. under 8.2 there was noise along with the sound. The sound implementation under 9.2 appears to be much different then under 8.2. As background: I also tried 9.1 when it came out but had to revert to 8.2 because of sound problems with kdetv. SuSe 8.2 is golden as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure 9.2 would also work if I only understood what appears to be a new sound system under the 2.6 kernel. -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) ---- 2.4.20-4GB-athlon --- Mon 11/22/04 04:20 4:20am up 0:05, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.09, 0.05

I'm willing to try "killall artsd" but what is the point of "cat /dev/hda1 > /dev/dsp"? -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) ---- 2.4.20-4GB-athlon --- Mon 11/22/04 04:25 4:25am up 0:10, 3 users, load average: 0.28, 0.18, 0.10

Given the trends in music over the past few decades, in 2030 "cat /dev/hda1
/dev/dsp" will be the #1 on Top of the pops. Mark my words

OK, we can put a stop to this silliness ;). I got the problem solved by using Yast to delete the sound card entry and then manually install. Yast apparently installed a close but not quite right driver. End of Thread
