Hi, anyone,

Sorry if this is annoying, I just don't get what to do.
$ cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp
does nothing.
killall artsd

followed by $play file.wav yields output where play seems to eb playing
the file, but nothing is coming out.

Relevant output from lspci yielded
00:08.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 03)
00:08.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy Game Port (rev
03)
00:08.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Creative Labs SB Audigy FireWire Port

Kernel version is 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15
07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

I'm running Kubuntu Feisty. Now, the soundcard still works on my other
partition; on Feisty we have

0 [Audigy ]: Audigy - Audigy 1 [SB0090]
                     Audigy 1 [SB0090] (rev.3, serial:0x531102) at 0xcc00,
irq 11

which is identical to dapper. I know I've posted beforut this but I've no
idea what exactly is wrong. Apps say sound is going to the soundcard, but
nothign comes out. If no-one replies, I'll leave it. I won't post again on
this topic.
