For the benefit of others trying to figure out how to use audio on the Alix 3c3 board:
First install ALSA. remountrw apt-get update apt-get install alsa-base apt-get-install alsa-utils remountro This added about 45M of stuff. I suspect that I only need a few files from alsa- utils. The initial state of the sound mixer is that all volumes are 0% and are muted. I got no audio at all. This was different to how voyage linux behaved under VMware. To turn up the volume and play sound on the Alix 3c3: amixer sset Master 100% unmute amixer sset Headphone 100% unmute amixer sset PCM 100% unmute aplay audio_file.wav This will allow root to play sounds, but not an ordinary user. The amixer and aplay commands above will give confusing error messages about can't find sound device, rather than saying "don't have permission". Edit /etc/group and add the user account to the audio group line I found the easiest way to copy files onto the computer was with scp, dumpging them in /tmp. Then remountrw; cp /tmp/filename .; remountro Russell Lang [email protected] Ghostgum Software Pty Ltd http://www.ghostgum.com.au/ _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
