I have a system (SuSE 8.1) that cannot play audio CDs. The problem seems to lie either in the drives (both of them!) or the sound card, because replacing the cable had no effect. In Windows, I can play audio CDs using Media Player (although not using CD player) so I assume that the direct audio output isn't working. However, is there a Linux app that can do what MediaPlayer does and read the audio data of the disc and play it? OK, it's not the ideal solution, but it looks like my only chance to hear CDs on this computer :-( TiA John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Fields of Valour: 2 Norse clans battle on one of 3 different boards
