Check the CD-Rom audio cable. It should be plugged into your sound card and into the back of the cd-rom. It sounds like yours is not connected or has a bad connection.
The cable is connected. I will check again to see if the connection is tight. But if the connection was bad, wouldn't a cat to /dev/audio produce no sound? Likewise no sound, using Real Audio's rvplayer? I do suspect a hardware problem, since the symptoms (all sound is OK except playing a CD) are the same in Win 3.11. The CD-ROM is an NEC scsi model 222. Is there a particular audio cable to use (a different one than for IDE CD-ROMs) for a scsi CD-ROM? -- "My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom.
