Thanks for the help..
I am using KDE desktop and also I have installed GNOME (but still haven't logged in yet)... The sound card is ---> Intel 82801AA AC'97 and it's on mother board itself, not sure through what mode??
After upgrading to Suse 10 my onboard soundcard did not work either. But I only had to configure it with Yast, and since then it works fine. You can find it under Hardware/Sound I presume.
As far as cable is concerned I think I removed it sometimes back, but does it make a difference becuase in windows XP it works fine...
Basically there are two ways to hear sound from your cd-rom: preferably via the extra cable to the sound card, or via de pc-bus. Here is what I read in the perfect help system of KsCD: " There are two ways that personal computers can play a CD. The first method (which KsCD refers to as direct digital playback), is performed by reading the digital data from the CD using Digital Audio Extraction (DAE). This data is sent to your machines CPU which converts the digital data to sound. This method requires a CD drive that is capable of DAE (most new drives are) and it requires some CPU processing time to generate the sounds you hear. The second method uses the internal circuitry available on many CD drives to read the data and generate the sounds you will hear without using your computers CPU. This data is transmitted by a dedicated cable directly to the sound card in your computer. This method requires less CPU proccessing time, but it does require that the dedicated cable be connected inside your computer. Not all computers have this connection. KsCD defaults to the second method of playback. The next step in troubleshooting your CD problems is to enable direct digital playback. To do this begin by clicking on the button labeled Stop on the KsCD window. This will stop any attempt to play the CD for now. Now click on the button labeled Extras. This will open a small menu. Select Configure KsCD.... This will open a new dialog box. Click the icon labeled CD Player on the left side of the dialog box. Place a mark in the checkbox labeled Use direct digital playback. Click OK. Now click Play in the KsCD window and see if the CD begins to play correctly. " So give this a try. And try the help yourself.
