GHG> I too am unable to get sound from my CD drive using the Kscd player. GHG> The display on the player, and LED on the CD drive, indicate that GHG> everything is functioning OK, but there's no sound. My sound card is an GHG> SB-Live with support compiled into the kernel. I've checked the mixer GHG> settings, nothing's muted and the volumes are set up GHG> I can hear the the system bell, play MP3s with Noatun, and even get GHG> music from the CD when I use XMMS to play /dev/cdrom instead of Kscd. GHG> Does somebody out there have another suggestion for me to try to get GHG> Kscd working. (I find it more convenient than XMMS.) Does the player show the number of tracks on the CD. If not, try it as root. If it works for root and not for an ordinary user, you need to give your user permission. Info on how to do this is built into the player. Click around to find it. This was the problem for me the first time I installed 7.1. When I repartioned and reinstalled a couple of weeks later after a motherboard went south, the player worked "right out of the box." The difference apparently was the install. The first one was cranky due to the motherboard starting to go, which required some manual tweaking. The second was flawless. -- Best regards, Rudder mailto:rudder@olsusa.com
