I have an audio trigger on subversion checkins. Server might not always run X. With FC2 in the console I could use "PLAY boing.wav" and hear it. I used this trick in the bash scripts. Now I upgraded to FC3, everything else is fine except for the machine being silent and shedloads of console messages saying "sox: Unable to reset OSS driver. Possibly accessing an invalid file/device". The sound device is onboard the m/b, never really looked before because it always just worked.

Now heres the annoying part - from KDE sound is fine, i.e. I ran KMix and pointed to the WAV file and it played. So how can I fix the console player please? Thanks...

In KDE, Control Center, Sound System Test Sound works fine.
The setting to Auto suspend if idle after 60 sec is on, but playing with that had no effect.
Hardware is set to autodetect.
System Tools | Info Center says the Carfd config is VIA 8237 with VIA1612A at 0xc400, irq 10

Then

Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Synth devices: NOT ENABLED In CONFIG
Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Is there another config program I shoudl run/file to edit please? Thanks...
