hello, I installed a new system today from the latest snap (September 14th). After installing it, I tried to get some audio and video going, however I've been (mostly) unsuccessful. My first attempts were to watch some videos, when I got neither audio or video I figured I'd step back and try just some audio, using either xine or mplayer to play a file results in no audio, I took a further step back and tried aucat, also to no avail, finally I tried:
cat 06-Inward_Burst.wav > /dev/sound and music plays from the speakers, so partial victory. I'm thinking that getting aucat to work is the first step, so here are the debug steps I took (mostly from FAQ, but sthen@ pointed me to SNDIO_DEBUG), hoping somebody can make some sense of this: [johan@omgla ~]$ file 06-Inward_Burst.wav 06-Inward_Burst.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz [johan@omgla ~]$ aucat -i 06-Inward_Burst.wav without setting DEBUG this exits quickly without playing anything.
