No sound from CD player in SUSE 9.3

timswim78 · 08-19-2005, 11:19 PM

I'm running SUSE 9.3 on an Ideq 200P Athlion64 system. I can hear system sounds just fine, but no sound comes when I play CD's. I have tried XMMS-CD and the default CD player.

I adjusted all of the volumes in the Kmix sound mixer, and I also turned up all of the volume settings in the sound card configuration screen. Even after rebooting, I cannot get any sound from CD's.

I appreciate your help.

Under Kmix, in the Input Tab, is the Green light below the CD Icon "ON(Bright)"?
If not bright, click on it, to make it active.

That would be the first thing to be checked.
No use of just increasing the volume, when the CD Volume is muted.

timswim78: Check your hardware - as well as the power and IDE cables, there should be a thin flex-cable connecting the CD-out to the soundcard part of your motherboard.

Sure enought. The cable was not plugged in. I have been running Fedora and Windows on this system, which get the audio from CD's digitally, as opposed to SUSE, which seems to get CD audio through the analog output.

Thanks Simon Bridge
