Audio CDs play by a different route to all other sounds on your PC. The sound is piped directly from the drive to the card without passing through the CPU. So, you need to have this audio cable in pace.
Kaffeine and newer Kscd will play through digital extraction, and thus will work without the audio cable.
Indeed, even this might not be enough - my system is set up properly but I cannot play CDs directly.
Perhaps a mixer control.
Alternatively, there are CD players that will stream the music off the CD through the system and play that streamed music (rather than playing the audio CD directly). However, I'm not sure which players will do this - I have simply ripped all my CDs onto my hard disc :-)
amoroK might also, I have never tried. I once used Kaffeine for a laptop since there was no way to add the audio cd cable. When I bought my new amd64 system, it also came without an audio cd cable. I was very happy when kscd supported digital playback, so that now also works quite well. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
