Hi there,

=09Have u disbaled the sbc device in ur kernel and thus enabling only=20
device pcm?
If you have done so, ( and proven the proper devices are loaded by=20
cat /dev/sndstat ) all u need to do is to MAKEDEV snd0 ( no verbose=20
output wil be shown prior to this ) try installing mpg123 or wavplay=20
in ports/audio and try to play a simple audio file.
