[alsa-devel] Unable to play aplay

[anuj aggarwal]

Vasudha,

Could you please check the device nodes in /dev/snd folder? The
desired output is:

[root@ /home]# ls -l /dev/snd/
crw-rw----    1 root     root     116,   5 Jan  1 00:00 controlC0
crw-rw----    1 root     root     116,   4 Jan  1 00:00 pcmC0D0c
crw-rw----    1 root     root     116,   3 Jan  1 00:00 pcmC0D0p

If the nodes are not there, you have to create them first before trying aplay.

Regards,
Anuj
