Do your AIS sound alerts work?

[PaddyB]

i dont understand but the files are in /usr/share/opencpn/sounds/2bells.wav

Just checking to see of my files are the same (I might have changed them and forgot..)

Maybe someone could put 

Code:

aplay /usr/share/opencpn/sounds/2bells.wav -v 

in a terminal and post the output? 
I get - 

Code:

$ aplay /usr/share/opencpn/sounds/2bells.wav -v
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/opencpn/sounds/2bells.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono

Well I now have this working. Brief description of the solution I posted in the OCPN forum.
