The problem is most simple Do not buy another drive better buy the cable between DVD ROM and sound card, I am not sure but I has the same problem between my CD ROM and was resolved just with a cable CD ROM to Sound Blaster card. On Wednesday 29 October 2003 08:51, Thom Nuzum wrote:
Hi Folks,
I just installed SuSE 9.0 and cannot play cds. In 8.2 it seemed to work with at least xmms player. It would like to play CDs with all the other players too of course. I have a LG DVD-ROM DRD8160B player. I installed the SuSE DVD with it no problems. Also my sound card is a blaster live I think. I removed the sound card and am using on board sound (soyo board) in the hopes that is was the lack of cable between DVD-ROM and sound card. CDs still don't play: i.e. I can see them playing, but hear nothing. I have both physically a dvd-rom and a cd-rw and icons for both. In dev/media there is cd-rom, dvd, and cd-rw. I have tried removing autodetect and changing to Alsa and playing with mixers and increasing sound. Still even xmms (which I assume does not need sound card cable) pplays but without sound. I've heard LG is crap and am thinking of buying a new dvd-rom that will play cd music in SuSe so any suggestions to that affect would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Everything else in 9.0 works great.
