Hi Guys,

Trying to find my audio devices through aplay but it's saying it can't find the command. SSH works going into htpc but that's as far as I get. How do you find the aplay command??

Cheers.

It should be in there.
try:
Code:
/usr/bin/aplay -l
if that doesn't work:
Code:
sudo find / -name aplay
and see if it will find the file.

Thanks mate. I'll give that a go.
if aplay is not there install alsa-utils

Which means your alsa is not installed properly to begin with

Code:
sudo apt-get install alsa-utils

I know this is a stupid question but where do I find the alsa-utils? How do I install it?
