I have a relatively simple question: My sound system appears to work fine. I get all sorts of sounds (real and test.) But none of the CD players that comes with Suse 9.1 can produce any sound, such as KsCD and xmcd. These players actually start playing, and the display indicates that the CD is being played: time and tracks advance normally. But there is no sound. I must be missing one simple but vital setting.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,

Are the CD player and soundcard connected (it's a thin wire)? Example: I have two drives (1 DVD and one CD-RW), but only the DVD drive is connected to the soundcard. So when KsCD is set up to use the CD-RW drive, naturally there will not be any sound while of course the CD will be playing. You might want to check that the correct drive is used.
Another option could be that the CD input is set to 0, or even mute. You can check that either via Yast (sound card setup) or also via KMix, Kamix, Gamix or any other equivalent mixer.
Cheers,
First try the volume settings, either kamix, kmix, or even Volume Control under the Multimedia menu. If that does not work, login as root and change the Volume Control program under Multimedia, the CD volume bar is probably turned down. I did this today after having the same problem.
