Sound From Speaker/buzzer
« on: December 06, 2004, 05:12:32 pm »
There was mention of 3.5.2 having the ability of playing sound through the speaker.  There was also directions (Openzaurus.com) on how to manipulate /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 to play sound through the speakers, but the info is not there on the current site.
Does anyone remember how to go about this and if it works?
Thanks.

This patch debuted in an unreleased snapshot but was taken out for 3.5.2 due to some unresolved problems. We will try again for 3.5.3.

Finally we removed that patch from kernel as it wasnt finished. With it all alarm, keyclick etc was gone which was a BAD thing.

now I understand why GPE is muted... it's X based, so it was trying to use /dev/dsp, which is gone... gotcha...
