I get somewhat different sorts of messages from aplay than you do. Possibly something in your .asoundrc file is mixing it up? I don't see much in mine, but I'm attaching it. I don't like your 'subdevice -1' thing. That seems a bit strange. Also, check that it's not a blocking issue. On my machine aplay won't play if I even have Evolution open. you might run somethign like 'lsof | grep sound' and check tht nothign is in your way. bash-2.05b$ aplay -v data/wave/seque~10.wav Playing WAVE 'data/wave/seque~10.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono Plug PCM: Hardware PCM card 0 'VIA 8235' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 1 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 22052 period_size : 5513 period_time : 125011 tick_time : 5000 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 5513 xfer_align : 5513 start_threshold : 22052 stop_threshold : 22052 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1445199872 bash-2.05b$
