There is also a utility called "play" that is part of the sox (Sound eXchange) package that will do the same thing.

testing sound configuration
I have been trying (again) to make sound work on my Thinkpad 600E. Fedora Core 6, Linux version 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6. It has the known problem that the sound "card" is misidentified. It is identified as Cirrus CS4610/4611 and the snd_cs46xx driver for this PCI device is installed. It is actually an ISA device with Cirrus chip CS4237B or something like that. In principle I need only "rmmod snd_cs46xx" and "modprobe snd_cs4236". At least those seem to be the modules present in FC6. Having done this, what is something simple to do that can demonstrate that it actually works? In other words, what is the minimum I have to do to play _some_ sound? carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- KPLUG-Newbie@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
