/dev/dsp not making sounds


/dev/dsp is not working for me currently.  It gives an error message on the
console and no sound from the speakers, which echo '^G' shows are working.
/dev/null is working as expected.

I reinstalled cygwin -- no improvement.

I played a bit with it to see if the error messages might give a hint.  No
such luck for me but maybe it will say something to one of the cygwizards.

/c/WINDOWS/Media> cat TADA.WAV > /dev/dsp
cat: write error: Permission denied
/c/WINDOWS/Media> cat tada.wav > /dev/null
/c/WINDOWS/Media> cmd /c type tada.wav > /dev/dsp
The handle is invalid.
/c/WINDOWS/Media> cat tada.wav | tr 'x' 'x' > /dev/dsp
tr: write error: Permission denied
tr: write error
/c/WINDOWS/Media> cat tada.wav | tr 'x' 'x' > /dev/null
/c/WINDOWS/Media> cat tada.wav | tr 'x' 'x' | /dev/dsp
bash: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
