audiocfg test works but no sound with mplayer; earphones work

[Mayuresh]

I recently changed my hardware and audio on NetBSD stopped working. Would
appreciate some help.

Following are some details:

This is on NetBSD 6.0 on i386.

Following test shows sound working:

#audiocfg test 0
0: [*] audio0 @ hdafg0: Sigmatel product 76df, 2 playback channels
testing channel 0... done
testing channel 1... done

The left and right speakers create sound at respective step.

Sound using flash plugin works in firefox.

With mplayer / espeak, there is no sound from the speaker, but with
earphones it works. So I think there is no codec related issue.

#dmesg | grep -i audi
hdaudio0 at pci0 dev 27 function 0: HD Audio Controller
hdaudio0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 22
hdafg0 at hdaudio0: Sigmatel product 76df

Have you tried different drivers with mplayer? You might have more luck
with either "-ao sun", "-ao oss" or possibly "-ao sdl" (use "-ao help"
for the full list).

HTH,

Thanks.

sun works, but with sun I can't advance the stream with left and right
with cursor keys. It says audio device is stuck.

Default is oss where mplayer shows it is playing, I can move back and
forth in the stream, but there is no sound, except in the earphones.

Only other device shown by -ao help is mpegpes. which doesn't work.

Also, with espeak, I do not find an option to change the driver.
