I had similiar problems in KDE with that chip. Try opening up a full-featured mixer in gnome ( I use KMix & Kmix Sound Mixer applet in KDE ), and adjusting various mixer levels. I found a couple that were rather cryptic, but absolutly required for sound playback. The key one was akin to a "pre-amp" that modifies audio levels before it gets to the regular volume control.

I'm having exactly the same problem (9.0), also with an AC97 sound chip. Maybe the driver?
Best regards, Jos. PS You can play it from the commandline: for ((i=1;i<=NUMTRACKS;i++); do nice cdparanoia $i - | wavplay - ; done (untested)

I am running SuSE 9.1 on an ABIT mother board (with an AC97 sound chip).
In GNOME, I have the sounds associated with pressing buttons, etc.
In XMMS, I can play mp3 files
In the standard GNOME CD player, the player find the CD and can play the CD but there is no sound (with the volume slider in of the player in middle position).
In Alsaplayer, the CD is not found.
In XMMS, when I configure the input plugin - CD audio playern I can check the drive, the drive is found:
Device /dev/cdrecorder OK Disc has 25 tracks Total lenght 70:54 Digital audio extraction text OK
Directory /media/cdrecorder OK
But when I want to constitute the play list, the directory /media/cdrecorder seems to be empty.
when I do in a terminal:
cd /media/cdrecorder /media/cdrecroder> ls
I get
/bin/ls: .: No medium found
But "grip", with CDRom device set to /dev/cdrecorder find the tracks on the CD. But as with the standard GNOME CD player, I can play the CD with grip but no sound (with the volume control set completely to the right). But I can grip and encode the files.
Help plse. All suggestions are welcome
Many thanks in advance,
