I am having problems with my CD Drive.
What I can do ...
Rip from a CD using KAudioCreator. Create a CD from .ogg files that plays in a standard CD player.
What I can't do ...
Mount a data CD either auto or manually Hear a Audio CD with any of the standard CD Players on SuSE. The CD is seen by KsCD and KsCE appears to recognize the tracks and play them but nothing comes out the speakers.
Sound is configured correctly I can play .ogg files using xmcd.
Anyone have a clue as to what is going on?
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 http://www.amb.org/xmcd/ 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. -Ti (author of xmcd)
