What operating system would be complete without being able make sounds? Here are some documents related to getting sound happening under linux using ALSA.
- Troubleshooting
Here are some commands that will allow you to test the audio system for correct operation.
- alsamixer - ANSI GUI to the ALSA mixer controls (VERY USEFUL)
- lsmod - lists current kernel modules and what they are used for (VERY USEFUL)
- aplay - play some sound
- amixer
- vi .asoundrc - edit the ALSA configuration file usually found in ~
- lspci - list current PCI interfaces
- alsactl store|restore - lets you save|load the current ALSA driver settings
- speaker-test - play some pink noise and cycle through available channels
- Resources
- jackd - the audio server http://jackit.sourceforge.net/
- amsynth - emulation of an analogue synthesiser http://amsynthe.sourceforge.net/amSynth/
- Debian sound configuration http://xtronics.com/reference/Debian-sound.html
