I still haven’t figured out the sound problem on the HTPC. As a workaround, I have been using the line out 3.5mm jack to feed an older set of speakers, but there’s no remote control for volume on those speakers. <\/p>\n

Some useful commands:<\/p>\n

aplay -l<\/code>
\naplay -L<\/code><\/p>\n

to see what sound devices there are. The Intel audio card is there and if I run
\naplay -D plughw:0,7 \/usr\/share\/sounds\/alsa\/Front_Center.wav<\/code> it works. If I don’t specify the device, there’s no error, but no sound.<\/p>\n

I also tried to set up ~\/.asoundrc<\/code>:<\/p>\n

pcm.!default {
\n type hw
\n card PCH
\n device 7
\n}
\n<\/code>
\nBut running aplay without the device parameter still gives no sound, but there’s an error message:<\/p>\n
