Sound in Linux

[Rishi Viner]

Hi there, I'm not experienced enough with sound in Rev to help there, but I do 
have some Linux experience. 

I just think that if it is making some sound at all, then the problem may be 
with the Linux sound system..? Does sound playback work using XMMS or 
something like that? If not you may need to play around with your "alsa" 
config...
