Hello,
do any run (test) KsCD, on my computer's I can't hear some music :(. I mean this is not the best situation, KsCD is the default player in KDE ?
If you insert an audio CD under KDE, you have the choice between kscd and kaffeine. kscd only works if you have a connection between your CD drive and your motherboard/soundcard. Which is the reason we'll drop kscd in the future.
That's not true. If you go to the configuration Options of KSCD you can turn on using direct digital output associated with a CD-Rom/DVD drive, which doesn't need the audio cable connected to the Sound Card or Motherboard from the drive.
Unless I'm wrong, the latest generation of drives has a two-pin digital output which again requires a cable. The advantage would be: You get full digital quality without making the CPU busy (assuming you have a receiver for SPDIF). So I wouldn't call it "direct digital output". The CPU will request digital audio data from the drive and process those before sending them to the audio device. Regards, Ulrich
