Sound weirdness

[David Barron]

Just to be sure I rebooted completely and did not start up xwindows. According to ps there is no esd running, there's practically nothing running, but I still can't get any sound.

Hi David,

that sounds like something is blocking your /dev/dsp (Like a 
malfunctioning esd daemon f.e.). Make sure you're using an ALSA output 
plugin and kill the esd before starting any playback.

Regards,

Moritz

		Did you compile alsa-driver for your specific sound card?  What kind 
		of sound card do you have?  Did you make sure that the sounds module 
		is loaded in the kernel?  Are you 100% sure that you unmuted all the 
		correct channels in your alsamixer?

I've also tried playing a wave file in Gnome Sound Recorder but I get an error about /dev/dsp being busy.  When I exit Xwindows I see that esd has generated some errors:

			Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 16bit failed
			Trying 44.1Khz, 8bit stereo.
			Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 8bit failed
			Trying 48Khz, 16bit stereo.

			I know it's not likely that anyone will be able to say "this is what's
			wrong" but can anyone make any suggestions where I might start?

			Thanks
