Hi Frank. I should have realised that all the above output would be ok, when a
couple of posts back, you said that aplay was working ok.
Did you run aplay as user, or root? I ask because it sort of sounds like a
permissions problem. If you did run it as root, it may be worth a look
in /etc/group, and make sure that your user name is still attached to the
audio group.
Nigel.
