Hi. I'm running SuSE linux 8.2. I have great troubles getting the KsCD to work. I can start the audio cd, and can see the counter in the display. I can see the LED on the cd drive is blinking. The only thing that is not working is the sound out of the loudspeakers. XMMS works. WindowsXP works too. As such there's no problems with the hardware. What am I missing ?. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards Erik Jakobsen - eja@urbakken.dk SuSE Linux 8.2 Proff.

Perhaps the mixer setting for the CD is not turned up? You can do that with KMix Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

Could be. I'm sending a direct message to you showing the Kmix seetings. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards Erik Jakobsen - eja@urbakken.dk SuSE Linux 8.2 Proff.

Things are fine here. Thank you for asking. :o)

Got it. The CD is turned all the way up (like all the other devices). I would expect some sound. Have you turned up the volume in kscd itself? (I know, but once in a while even the most clever techie forget to "power on" ;o)) Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

Sounds nice, and welcome.

Ok.

As spoken by myself :-)

I have. It was first centered, but I turned it full up, but no sound. By the way this is my second install with 8.2, and the same troubles with kscd :-((
Best regards :o)
Thanks and the same good wishes for you as well. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards Erik Jakobsen - eja@urbakken.dk SuSE Linux 8.2 Proff.

Have you tried playing the CD through xmms? xmms has a CD playing plugin. You can add the directory where the CD is normally mounted, to the playlist. In my case I klick the "open tray" button and navigate to /media/cdrom. Any sound that way? Best regards :o) Johnny :o)
Good day Erik,
Hi Johnny.
Have you tried playing the CD through xmms?
Yes I have.
xmms has a CD playing plugin. You can add the directory where the CD is normally mounted, to the playlist.
Ok.
In my case I klick the "open tray" button and navigate to /media/cdrom.
I do it that way: CTRL-L, and the I enter the path to the cdrom /dev/cdrom.
Any sound that way?
Yes fine.
Best regards :o)
Thanks and the same for you as well. What then say about the non working kscd ?
Johnny :o)

Boller fra Koberg! (<- has no information value ;o)) I am sorry. I have no other ideas. If you really want to solve the problem perhaps the KDE-user-list at KDE will have ideas. Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

I'm having the exact same problem; sound works great on the win2k side of the box; absolutely nothing on the 8.2 side. I know it's not a hardware problem. regards, dave -- David C. Johanson Linux Counter # 116410 Currently Powered by SuSE Linux 7.1

Thanks for your input. Maybe it is a job for SuSE to do. I have never ever before had problems using the kscd

I had the same problem. As some others have suggested, open alsamixer, and adjust *every* control one at a time up and down to find which control kscd is using for its volume. I found that if I changed the lead from my dvd to the soundcard that kscd used 'Aux' as the volume control in one pluging spot (don't know *why* Aux, but it worked), and at a different plugin on my soundcard it used 'CD' for the volume (I prefer alsamixergui myself, but alsamixer or whatever mixer you use should be okay). I've also found that with my SBLive card, alsaplayer allows me to use quite a few more of the controls in alsamixer, than kscd or other cd players. It's not as fancy looking, and takes a couple more steps to play a CD, but I like it over all the other CD players now. John - -- - -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 G! d- s+:++ a?

Did just that and it made absolutely no difference. In fact, I've played with everything "sound" on the setup and nothing makes any difference.

Hello all: I've recently had the same trouble, but i noted that it happened exactly after playing with gmixer and alsamixer, I always worked with SuSE's sound setup and kmix, and never had problems. So, i think the thing goes this way, please enlight me.!!!! SuSE' install works with ALSA as default, while configuring during installation the volume control works well, and kmix works fine, BUT if for any reason i use gamix or alsamixer, then inmediately KMIX IS HISTORY :(, and furthermore if you open Yast and try to adjust/deinstall and install your soundcard, the volume control is useless, even thought the soundcard works fine if you adjust it via gamix/alsamixer, works fine with xmss/xine/mplayer,kscd. So the question is. How do i enable kmix to work again, as installation's default?? Greetings to all Oxiel. El Vie 27 Jun 2003 11:33, David Johanson escribió:
