Hi This is probably an old chestnut by now but thought that I would ask anyway. I've just upgraded my own personal workstation to SuSE 8.1. Used Yast2 to update the system. Got the latest patches. Everything would seem to be working fine except Kscd which is refusing to play CDs. No music being played at all. Tried other CD software and that won't work either. Both my CD recorder and CD-ROM are working fine. I can use both of them to install software or make CDs. So, what's the problem here ? Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Permissions for /dev/cdrom are.... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2003-03-28 10:57 /dev/cdrom -> hdb Thanks -- Richard www.sheflug.co.uk

Franklin ,
1) Are the audio cables attached? When I got my cdrw a few months ago, I racked my brain trying to figure out why it couldn't play music then i noticed i forgot to plug in the audio cable.
No problem there.
2) Check in kmix if anything is muted(green light is out), also see if the volume is set correctly. Kmix is the speaker icon in the kde taskbar, right click > show mixer. Other mixer apps will work to.
Yes. This is fine. Been using Kmix for a long time. Thank you -- Richard www.sheflug.co.uk

Well, looking under YaST2 on the desktop I find that the CD-ROM device that has been detected is my TEAC CD-Recorder. There would seem to be two instances of this found by the system whereas my Creative Labs CD reader and music CD player isn't seen by the system. Unfortunately I've forgotten which command line arguments to use to investigate this further to find out more or to change one of the settings in YaST2 so that my Creative player is seen and can be used. Perhaps there is a link missing and that needs to be created ? Or, perhaps it just needs some simple command line magic ? Suggestions would be welcomed. -- Richard
