Re: [SOLVED] sound *.ogg from terminal

If you use pulseaudio, change /etc/libao.conf remove the dev line and change the default_driver= to pulse. If you only use alsa try without the dev line anyway. For some reason libao tries to use some strange parameters with it present

Re: [SOLVED] sound *.ogg from terminal

Hello everyone!
That's actually a problem. Didn't worked for me. Now it says:

ERROR: Cannot open device pulse.

I've been trying to launch an ogg123 via

-d pulse

, but still the same result. ALSA doesn't works also.

Any ideas of why this is happening?

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] sound *.ogg from terminal

Please don't hijack 4 year old threads.

This still works, just as I described, remove the dev line and change the default driver. Is pulse actually started? Where are you trying to run this? From somewhere else other than your user?

In any case please open a new thread on this.

Closing.
