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,
