All I get is this... /dev/snd # aplay /test.txt aplay: No such file or directory Incidentally, the mini-HOWTO on the site says this: Now you are ready to put any soundfile you want into the PCM device of the first card. So try to cat any textfile (any file) to /dev/snd/pcmC0D0, like this: cat <filename> > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0.
