[SLE] Music CDs - Can't Play
Sorry for going over this again, but the recent posts didn't solve my problem. I have SuSE 6.4 installed. A Sound Blaster 16 PNP sound card. I can't hear any sound when I play audio CDs with KSCD. I can see KSCD reading the CD, the light on the CD-ROM drive flashes, but no sound out of the speakers. Other sounds work, i.e. KDE startup .wavs, etc. Just nothing from audio Cds. My /dev/cdrom permission is already 0666. Please help, thanks in advance.

What is the output of "cat /dev/sndstat"? Did you install oss? And run sndconf? Hope this helps.

Did you check the status of CD volume control with a mixer proggie? -- Brad Shelton On Line Exchange http://online-isp.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

and did you try to put a headphone *directly* to the CDROM? these programs turn the CD into a CD player but dont affect the soundcard as such. They use the amplifier on the card, that's all (thus Brads note) Make sure, the cable between the sound card and the CDROM is OK and connected properly. Thats why I suggest the CDROMS build in output...

OK, got the audio sound working. I don't kmow what fixed it, but here's what I did. In /etc/modules.conf I commented out the following lines: #alias char-major-14 off #alias sound off #alias midi off Then I saved the file as /etc/modules.conf.01. I didn't realize it at the time, but that left the system without a modules.conf file. Anyway, then I rebooted, (a habit left over from bygone days). After the restart, the audio sound worked! Curious, I rechecked the modules.conf file and found that the above three lines were UNcommented out. That's when I realized the "mistake" that I had made. I guess the system recreated the modules.conf file when it restarted. I then ran diff on modules.conf and modules.conf.01 and the only difference were the three lines I had commented out. Oh well, now it works. Can anybody explain what happened? Thank you to all who responded. I want to take this opportunity to put in a plug for SuSE Linux. I am about one year old in Linux. I started out with a popular RH clone didtribution. I found it somewhat buggy, and hard to get used to. Then I moved on to another very popular dist. It was ok, but not to exciting. Then one day Costco was selling SuSE 6.4 for $24.99. I said, why not give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! In my newbie opinion, SuSE rocks! It is much more stable than either of the other two I used, and Wow!, you get six CDs of software! I am starting to get the hang of using YAST1, and YAST2. I think YAST1 is the best system administration tool anywhere, at least of what I have used. It is easy to install/uninstall packages from CD or FTP site, add users, delete users, or whatever. And you get a ton of games! I have also installed 6.4 on my boys computer. Just a minimal install with KDE, but with all of the games. They love it! Thanks SuSE for a good distribution.

I have stuck with SuSE since that day, and it has been a great distro.

I know this kinda, duh, but did you install an audio cable from the CD drive to the sound card? I had the same problem once and about kicked my own a** when I realized I hadnt hooked in a cable. Just a thought. Brad Shelton wrote:
