Make sure you have permission to write to /dev/audio. For example: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6 May 6 05:24 audio -> audio0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 30, 4 May 6 05:24 audio0 (Yours may point to audio1). You might also try upping the sound volume with the mixer(8) command. Joe Clarke On Fri, 13 Jul 2001, R.
