I am having a problem with my gnome cd player. I am running Fedora Core 1 ver. #2.4.22-1.2199.nptl in a dual boot system with Win XP SP2. I have sound when I play sound files or when I get a stream off the net. Although my CD's play fine in Windows using a variety of programs, I get no sound in Linux. The player comes up, CDDB correctly identifies the track list and the player indicates that the cd is playing. I have checked the volume control and both the main and cd volumes are turned up, volume control in the player is up and my speaker are on and the volume is up. I have checked this and several other web sites but I haven't been able to solve this particular problem. Thanks a lot for any help.
Distribution: Slackware, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X

hi Ned834, welcome to lq. Do you have an anolog sound cable attached to the cdrom from the sound card or motherboard? I don't think gnome cd player supports digital audio extraction yet, but you could try the latest version of xmms.
good luck.
