Suse 10 new installation, actually reinstall. CD Ripper (sound juicer) plays audio cds fine, but amarok or kscd has no sound. They show it is playing, and everything was turned on full with qamix and kmix, etc. but no sound. Art

The CD drive is connected to the sound card? Some programs read the digital sound information via the IDE (PATA/SATA) bus, some rely on the CD being hooked up to the sound card. Philipp

I don't think that makes any sense. When you connect the CD drive directly to the sound card, that's an analog, audio-only connection. It cannot allow software to get data from the CD.

It does, it's just that I stated it suboptimal :) So let me try to rephrase that: some programs just send commands to the CD player and rely on the CD/DVD drive to have an analogue connection to the sound cards while others actually read the digital information via the bus and then send that data to the sound device. Does that make it a bit clearer? Philipp

I went back to read the post to which I replied, and I think I misunderstood what you were saying. I interpreted it to mean that the software could read audio data via the signal path that includes that analog connection, which clearly it cannot. Instead, you meant that the CD can be played out the machine's audio system via that path, which it clearly can (when those analog cables are properly connected, of course).

To elaborate that further: kscd is definitively one of those programs that just send a command to the CD player, whereas xmms is a program that reads the audio data.

I do not have the audio cable connected. My goal is to be able to rip a cd for installing on an ipod. Am leaning towards Sound Juicer as it is one my wife could operate. Only problem there is getting the right gstreamer plugins. Art On Mon, 2006-01-02 at 19:44 +0100, Joachim Schrod wrote:

In that case the whole audio issue is irrelevant. You should be able to rip a CD whether or not you hear audio when playing it.
