listen to some good music. A quick way to test is to use a command line tool |
412 |
and your speakers. We will use the <c>speaker-test</c> command line tool from |
| 414 |
like <c>media-sound/madplay</c>. You could also use something more well known |
413 |
package <c>media-sound/alsa-utils</c> (this should already be installed as per |
| 415 |
like <c>mpg123</c>. If you are an ogg fan, you could use <c>ogg123</c> provided |
414 |
our previous recommendation). |
| 416 |
by <c>media-sound/vorbis-tools</c>. Use any player you are comfortable with. As |
|
|
| 417 |
always, <c>emerge</c> what you need. |
