I have a Compaq with an AMD64 dual core processor and an IXP SB-400 AC'97 Audio controller using the ATI IXP AC97 controller driver under SuSE 10.0. The only problem I have with it is that it won't play music CDs from DVD/CDrom drive. The machine dual boots with XP. All the sounds work on XP and I can play CDs from the DVD/CDrom drive. So the hardware all appears to be present and correct. In Linux, where I spend most of my time, the system sounds work perfectly, and I can check the sounds in the YaST control centre where everything appears to be OK. When I put a CD into the drive, a SUSE Hardwar Detection dialog opens asking if I want to open the CD, with KsCD. I say, "Open" and KsCD opens. The CD light flashes and the KsCD 'LCD' says that the CD is playing with a volume setting of 99%. However, I hear nothing. I've checked all the volume settings I can find, and they all appear to be OK. Does anyone have a clue what I'm missing?

Rather than dl'ing the .iso, if you can come up with the names of the required files, it might be possible to have the e-mailed to you, or better yet, to get them off of one of SuSE's ftp servers, even if you have to add the server as an installation source. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In Linux, where I spend most of my time, the system sounds work perfectly, and I can check the sounds in the YaST control centre where everything appears to be OK.

I've checked all the volume settings I can find, and they all appear to be OK.
Try configure it via Extras/Configure KsCD to select the audio backend as Alsa and make sure "Use direct digital playback" is ticked and its pointing to the correct device i.e. I've got a CDwriter and DVD player in my PC and it selected the CDwriter as the player. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Wow, sweet. How is that?
I've checked all the volume settings I can find, and they all appear to be OK.
Does anyone have a clue what I'm missing?
Don't know if you're on KDE or some other manager, but in KDE, I noticed that - by default - the sound tick for CD media wasn't set on a few systems I'd setup. I did a simple right-click on KMIx in the system tray > show mixer window > the input tab and made sure the CD input selection was enabled. -- kai - theperfectreign@yahoo.com www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
