Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 11 no sound despite finding hardware Post 302970662 by Nostradamus1973 on Sunday 10th of April 2016 06:04:58 AM

Hicks,

Yes, I've tried a Live DVD/CD and I experienced the same thing. I know that one of the simple tenants of an Desktop OS is sound, but, I don't have it and I'm quite envious that you do.Smilie

WiseCracker,

Code:
ls /dev/dsp

Confirms that /dev/dsp exists
Code:
cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp

Doesn't seem to return an error.
Code:
sudo /usr/bin/sox  -b 8 -r 8000 -v 1 -e unsigned-integer /tmp/noise.raw -d trim 0 00:02 > /tmp/sox.log 2>&1

Gives me the following in my /tmp/sox.log
Code:
/usr/bin/sox FAIL formats: can't open input file `/tmp/noise.raw': No such file or directory

Funny thing I don't see noise.raw in /tmp, where I thought it was created. Or am I running in circles? Or the fact that it's early in the AM for me. Shouldn't SoX have created the noise.raw file? Or, do I have to create one and give attributes?
I'm running Solaris through Gnome.
I think my Solaris shortcomings are starting to show.Smilie
I'm not sure this is related, OR, I'm putting the cart before the horse. BUT, I am unable to play MP3 files, when I try through SoX; is there a repository I need to add? The MP3 Decoder doesn't show in package manager either.
Where do we go from here?
As always, Thanks for your help and time.Smilie
