I had an issue with sound on my 7.3 system until I set up a mixer app and turned up all the volume settings. xmcd is for X11 CD app "xmcd", a very nice motif app for CD playing. Do you have "sox" installed per chance ? /Dee -----Original Message----- From: dwb [mailto:david.bartlett@ntlworld.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 1:47 PM To: W.D.McKinney; suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Won't recognise CD-ROM upgrade On Wednesday 24 April 2002 23:21, W.D.McKinney wrote:

Try running the script and then see if it works. What is /dev/dsp pointing to also ?
No such directory as xmcd exists under X11 in the path above on my system. I have 7.3 installed pretty much out of the box. points to dsp0. Sound still works, I can play wavs, MP3s etc. The CD player loads without error but says "ejected". Pressing play just does nothing. :-( David.

Aaargghhh! This surely can't be difficult to do ....
My CD burner died recently (Very old Ricoh SCSI device) and considering that my CDROM was an old 6x speed drive I decided to upgrade both to a new DVD-CD-RW unit. I got the Ricoh MP9200A EIDE drive. The hardware installation was the easy bit.
The bios recognises it but SuSE 7.3 refuses to. Running hardware information in yast2 identifies the drive correctly, no problem. I am now able to mount a data CD (edited fstab manually). However, I have been unable to persuade the CD player or XMMS to recognise the drive. I have also been unable to get KonCD to recognise it. I can't figure out what needs to be done - yast is no help at all. :-/ Right now I'm going to have a go at burning a CD from the command line instead. sigh.
Any suggestions and help would be welcome. I'd really like to listen to music again while I work.
TIA David.
