I just installed Debian(uname -a: Linux (hostname) 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP (date) i686 GNU/Linux) on my dell precision m70. A while back the 1/8"jack that output sound on the actual computer broke, but I have a dock.
Under windows the audio jack on the dock works fine, and under Linux I have used a usb sound card, but I cannot get Linux to output sound to the docking station jack. I have tried "aplay -D hw:0,0,0 sound.wav" and tried messing around with those numbers but when i change the 2nd number is says "aplay: main:550: audio open error: No such file or directory" and when i change the last number it says "aplay: main:550: audio open error: Device or resource busy". When I change the first number to 1 and the usb card is plugged in it works.
I was just wondering if any one knows how to fix this, or what numbers need to go in those place, or what programs I could run to try to get some sound out of that port so I could identify it.
