+# Audio
+
+If the sound card is detected: 
+
+
+
+    ; ls '#A'
+    '#A/audio'
+    '#A/audioctl'
+    '#A/audiostat'
+    '#A/volume'
+    
+
+
+
+    ; ls /dev/audiostat
+    
+
+You can check which pins are being used for input and output (output for Thinkpad x200): 
+
+
+
+    ; cat /dev/audiostat
+    bufsize   1024 buffered      0
+    codec 0 pin 25 inpin 29
+    aout 16 c1d
+    aout 17 c1d
+    aout 18 211
+    beep 19 70000c
+    ain 20 100d1b ← pin 29, pin 23
+    ain 21 100d1b ← pin 24
+    pin 22 out jack ext right hpout green ← aout 16, aout 17
+    pin 23 in nothing sep rear micin pink
+    pin 24 in jack ext right micin pink
+    pin 25 out nothing sep rear hpout green ← aout 16, aout 17
+    pin 26 out fix int N/A speaker ? eapd ← aout 16, aout 17
+    pin 27 out nothing ext N/A other ? eapd ← aout 16, aout 17
+    pin 28 out nothing ext N/A other ? ← aout 18
+    pin 29 in fix int N/A micin ?
+    beep 30 f00000
+    outpath aout 16 → pin 26
+    outamp aout 16
+    inpath pin 29 → ain 20
+    inamp ain 20
+    
+
+This line `codec 0 pin 25 inpin 29` shows that pin 25 is being used for output and pin 29 used for input. On my laptop, it is necessary to set the output pin to 26: 
+
+
+
+    ; echo pin 26 > /dev/audioctl
+    
+
+Now it's possible to play music: 
+
+
+
+    ; audio/oggdec < music.ogg >/dev/audio
+    ; audio/mp3dec < music.mp3 >/dev/audio
