My cdrom drive appears to be mounting fine. I can get data off of the cd and I can write to the cd, but I cannot seem to get sound from my audio cd.
When the CD is playe dusing KsCD, no sound is outputted to the speakers. I have checked for muting on KsCD and KsMix, but that does not seem to be the problem.
You may also have to look around under your the audio section of your main menu and make sure you don't have the volume control set all the way down....
kcd requires an audio cable between the sound card and the CD drive. xmms (i.e. latest version) is one application that uses digital audio extraction and therefore does not require the audio cable.
Do you hear system sounds and can you play MP3s or music files that are stored on the hard drive?
Ack, I can barely believe that it was so simple as to bhe missing an audio cable. I guess it does not pay to trust your manufacturer for all those interior cables.

Rep:
/mnt/cdrom is the path. if it's an audio cd, you wont need to do anything but put the disk in the drive. if it's a data cd with music files on it, you'll need to mount it first.
good luck.
experienced the same issue, so I got the ccable from my ex PC, however my mainboard don't have a "CD Audio in" connection ... so I use Totem Media Player to listen to CDs ... any chance that I can make that the default player as I pop my audio cd in ?
AND I can't get any System Sounds (which I don't really need but by that fact want) are the 2 issues correlated ?
