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.
Did you check the status of CD volume control with a mixer proggie?

Yes, I just did that, still no sound. ? Shouldn't something as simple as playing audio CDs work right out of the box? I had no problems with other dists using the same hardware. I really like SuSE and don't want to go back to the others just because of this. I'm sure it's something simple, but I'm new to Linux. Thanks in advance for help.
It's been a few days. Have you resolved this yet?

Brad, Yes, I did, here was my answer: "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 don't understand why this fixed it, but it did. Thank you for your interest.
