when I run xmms it cant locate any files on the cd.. I don't know what version you're running, so my experience (on v7.3) may not apply. I find xmms complicated, so I prefer CD Player. What it took me time to learn is that, though SuSE-7.3 file system is /media/cdrom, you have to go with /cdrom only if you want xmms to list the tracks
and if I run Kscd it seems to play the cd but no sound comes out..and sound is activated since I get sound when kde starts... Oh, yes, I know the feeling... It took me more than one year to learn what was wrong with MY system (I know nothing about yours). I wondered for a looonng time why I had sound when playing .wav files (KDE launching, etc.), yet no pip when I attempted to play CD-audio. I clicked on the ikon, the tray came out to receive the disc, I could hear the drive spinning, the pilot light flickering, but sound? No way! Finally, one day, I opened together all mixers I had (alsamixer, gamix, gmix and kmix) and started playing with them. It was then that I learned that three of them were connected with each other, but not gamix. When you change the controls on one of the three, the respective controls on the other two go accordingly, but gamix has two controls which the others don't have and--more importantly--can't be controlled by the others: input accumulator and output accumulator. The first one I don't know what it does, but the second one, _if_it_is_not_up_all_ _the_way, NO audio! So, lesson one was: make sure gamix output accumulator is up. Lesson two: remove gamix altogether. Isn't that odd? If gamix is present, the output accumulator control has to be up, but it makes no difference if you delete the mixer!
frankly, I am very confused :) Welcome to the club.
PS:
You don't mount music cds. They're not mountable. Just fire up your favourite music cd player, press play and enjoy Yes, it took me a little while to learn that.
