Up until a few days ago I was able to burn audio CDs (and data CDs, .iso files, etc.) with k3b. Recently I can still burn .iso files, but I can't burn audio CDs with .mp3 files. It get to around 52% each time, stops burning, and locks my computer up so that it's *very* sluggish and I'm forced to do a hard reboot. Seeing some of the posts on the list and recent issues with not being able to burn CDs as a normal user, I tried as root as well and experienced the same behavior. On one of the previous attempts I was able to briefly see a message about 'Can't find audio'. I've also noticed that since the update to KDE 3.3alpha my sound starts initially on bootup (I hear the startup sound) but then goes to 0 and I have to manually adjust the kmix settings back up. Very annoying. I don't know if the 2 are related, but I'd be interested to see if anyone else running KDE 3.3 alpha is experiencing the same. Or if anyone has any clues as to what I can check to get my audio CD burning back.

Audio CDs do not contain mp3 files. The content of an audio cd are .wav format. So either burn it as a data cd, or convert to wav first and then burn as a true audio cd. It almost sounds like you are trying to convert the files on the fly.

After setting the volumes the way you want, Go in and save the setting in Control center / Sounds&Multimedia / Mixer.
Thanks.

Yes, k3b has the ability to do this. You select the audio files in .mp3 or .ogg format, and k3b will burn the CD by converting these to .wav files. I've done it many times previously, it's just that for some reason this is no longer working. Perhaps some permissions were changed with a recent update.

I think I tried this before with no luck, but I'll do it again. Thanks. -- Trey Sizemore trey@fastmail.fm
