Check that the "CD" channel of your sound card has its volume turned up (run a better volume control program than KaMix, which shows more controls).
If this still doesn't help, your computer probably lacks an analog line connection between the CD drive and the sound card. In that case you have to play in "CDDA" mode. Download the latest xmcd release from
Install as instructed. Start xmcd, then, click the "tools" icon on xmcd to open xmcd's options window, click "CDDA playback", then click "Save". This will make xmcd run in CDDA mode each time.
If you configure your SuSEplugger to start xmcd automatically on insertion of a CD, you can also make xmcd start play automatically "Tools -> Automated functions -> "On load: autoplay" and "On eject: auto exit", "Save".
BTW xmcd doesn't play .ogg files. It can rip CD tracks to .ogg files (as well as other formats), but not play them.
Thanks. The CDDA playback was disabled on the version of xmcd that came with SuSE 9.1 Pro. I downloaded and installed the new binary and the CDDA playback mode was possible. I can now play CDs using xmcd I have not got the autoplay to work even though I checked it in the options, but this is no big thing.
