To be really sure ALSA is working, I suggest you try aplay. Notice |
| 9 |
that aplay is minimalistic, and does not support formats like vorbis |
| 10 |
(AFAIK). Feed a wav to it. Example: |
| 11 |
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav |
| 12 |
Both aplay and /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav come from |
| 13 |
media-sound/alsa-utils |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
You have a lot of verbosity with aplay -v |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Also notice that many mixer controls have not only a volume bar, but |
| 18 |
also a setting of muted or unmuted. A mixer control may show its bar |
| 19 |
at 100% but be muted, which could be confusing if you are not familiar |
| 20 |
with alsamixer. In my case least, the relevant mixer controls for a |
| 21 |
wav file are "Master" and "PCM". Both are stereo, both have volume |
| 22 |
bars, but only "PCM" has a mute/unmute setting. |
| 23 |
I don't know if this is your case, this wasn't clear from your |
| 24 |
screenshot. Can you get a png screenshot and send directly to my |
| 25 |
email?. Of course, it would be better if the alsamixer screen was |
| 26 |
maximized when you take the screenshot. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Also, to test with another OS could be useful. Do you have any LiveCD? |
