There is also the possibility that you need an analog cable from your CD or DVD player to your sound card. IMO, Windows handles digital sound from an optical device better than Linux.
Right. I was having similar problems w/ KsCD, saw solutuion on another thread: click on 'Use direct digital playback' under 'Configure KsCD' (to correct for no analog cable)

Rep:
sorry for being out of touch for so long.
no, i didn't give up on mepis... but i think i have some insight into my problem, although it isn't solved...
my sound starts of fine with the mepis start up music.
then it abruptly stops - someone mentioned it may be a process interfering with the sound. after this interrupt, sound doesn't work in way shape or form - from hard drive to cd player.
