After a clean installation, I'm unable to play music CDs on my system with SuSE Pro 9.2. I have an Audigy SB0090 sound card, OPTORITECD CW5205 CD-RW drive, and a SONY DVD RW DRU-710A DVD RW drive. I can listen to web radio stations with no problem. I have tried to use gnome-cd (the default) and xmms. YaST says the sound card is running. gnome-cd appears to be working but no sound comes out of the external speakers.

I'd appreciate any guidance. YIA. Kelly -- Kelly J. Morris <kjmlists@comcast.net> =========

Kelly, First of all, be sure you have a audio cable running from your chosen cd/dvd to the sound card. It's possible to have both connected to modern sound cards. Make sure the correct drive is chosen in the settings of KSCD, etc. and I suppose it is, else the programs would not be playing the cd. Have you tried inserting headphones into the front of the drive to see if sound is coming out of that? If you do not have an audio cable from the drive to the sound card, you will have to set your play to do the digital conversion, although many have had trouble with that, so audio cable is recommended setup. If all is well with those items above, then you need to set some mixer settings to enable your volume. I use KAmix, so will address the settings there. Open the KAmix mixer window and select the "Ext. Source Playback" tab. Be sure that these items are set to 100: Line CD Video Aux Make sure they aren't muted also. Those should give you sound for the CD, as well as the second line, if you have an audio cable from the the second drive to the card. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.8 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 There's no problem so awful that you can't add some guilt to it and make it even worse! ...Calvin & Hobbes
