No sound :(

Could it be you changed the order of your sound devices prior to sending that command ? It should work. aplay clearly indicated hw:2,0 and hw:2,1 as your sound blaster.

Another possibility is that you do not have alsa-utils installed.

Please force a re-install of alsa-utils .

and then try the following commands (as both a regular user, and also as root) :


speaker-test -c2 -D hw:0,0  -l1 -twav
speaker-test -c2 -D hw:0,1  -l1 -twav
speaker-test -c2 -D hw:1,0  -l1 -twav
speaker-test -c2 -D hw:1,1  -l1 -twav
speaker-test -c2 -D hw:2,0  -l1 -twav
speaker-test -c2 -D hw:2,1  -l1 -twav 

where you need alsa-utils installed for the -twav to work .

Another possibility is a permissions issue, but trying with root permissions has likely eliminated that possibility.
