I cannot play a CD
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,
I'm having exactly the same problem (9.0), also with an AC97 sound chip. Maybe the driver? Best regards, Jos. PS You can play it from the commandline: for ((i=1;i<=NUMTRACKS;i++); do nice cdparanoia $i - | wavplay - ; done (untested) :-) Op zondag 30 mei 2004 20:49, schreef Karel De Vriendt:

I had similiar problems in KDE with that chip. Try opening up a full-featured mixer in gnome ( I use KMix & Kmix Sound Mixer applet in KDE ), and adjusting various mixer levels. I found a couple that were rather cryptic, but absolutly required for sound playback. The key one was akin to a "pre-amp" that modifies audio levels before it gets to the regular volume control.

Is your CDrecorder wired to the sound inputs on the Mobo? Lots of times this is not done anymore and you have to read the CD Digitally with a different plug in setting. You find this a lot in laptops, but not so much in desk tops. Second possibility: Check the CD Audio Player plugin in xmms (libcdaudio.so). There are configuration options for the device to use, and what directory is equivelent to that device. In 9.1 it comes set wrong as far as the directory is concerned (it looks at /mnt/cdrom, but suse mounts it at /media/cdrom) (YMMV depending on device names). Click that Check Drive button in the config options for that plug in as well. If your recorder is not physically wired, then chec the Digital extraction option in Play mode. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
Thank for the various suggestions received. I found out that the DVD player is the one that is wired to my motherboard. Hence I put my CD in this one. I also updates my alsa packages (packman packages for SuSE 9.1). I did run alsaconf, I rebooted (to get rid of a terrible noice in alsaplayer) and now: - In GNOME, sounds associated with events work fine. - In the standard GNOME CD player, in ALSAplayer and in Grip, I can play my CD. Via Grip, I can rip and encode the CD. - In XMMS, I can play mp3 files (and the outputplugin must be correctly configured?). When I configure the CDinput plugin, "check drive" gives the correct information. But still, I cannot play the CD (selecting /media/dvd is not possible). - ls /media/dvd gives "no medium found" Can this still be a problem with XMMS, with my sound settings or with the automounting feature in SuSE 9.1? Help plse. Karel De Vriendt
Solved: known incompatibility between the CD audio plugin used by XMMS and the subfs module SuSE 9.1 is using. See http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/thallma_91_xmms_audiocd.html Thanks to everybody who tried to help. Karel On Mon, 2004-05-31 at 16:28, Karel De Vriendt wrote:

These were all very good suggestions, John, and furthermore it should be noted, that on KDE you should take the arts driver as input plugin in XMMS or you'll get that pesky "can't open /dev/dsp". (Or you should kill the arts daemon altogether, but that surely will break something else.) The digital sound extraction finally did it. Thanks a lot. Jos.
