KDE CD Player and aux. cable?
Hello SuSE folkz, I just noticed one interesting thing on my SuSE 9.0. I can't listen to misic CD using KDE cdplayer, but I can watch DVD movies with sound using xine, and KDE sound schema is working too. If I connect DVD ROM directly to the sound card with the auxiliary cable, then I can listen to misic CD's as well. The question is if Linux uses different sound services/fasilities for providing sound for DVD movies and musical CD's? Thanks, Alex

This has nothing to do with Linux. When you play an audio CD, unless you rip it to your hard drive or something like that, it is essentially working like a regular analog-output CD player that happens to be computer controlled. The sound comes out the audio cable. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D "I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and DK KD in fourteen days I had lost exactly two weeks."

Since I don't have this analog-output cable I can't listen to music from CD. Is there anyway to play music CD through the IDE cable? Thanks Gustavo

You can either rip the CD to mp3/ogg or visit a store an grab an audio cable for your CDROM. Those are pretty much the choices. :) -- Ben Rosenberg ---===--- #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- Why do we bother with a suicide watch when someone is on deathrow?

There are a few other options. He can look for a plugin called xmms-cdread. That should do what he wants. KsCD will be able to do digital playback when kde3.2 is released according to feature plan. It might(*) already work in kde 3.2 beta1. If he is willing to risk his system for cd-playback, that might also be an option.

Can I ask why you can't spend $3 for the cable? -- DDDD David Kramer david@thekramers.net http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D IF YOUR PARENTS DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN, ODDS ARE YOU WON'T EITHER: DK KD "Male Infertility Can Be Passed on to Children" DDDD -- Reuters headline
