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.
cat xxx.au > /dev/dsp Regards Sid.
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
