Best Regards Team and HAPPY HOLIDAYS:

The system sound works OK, but no audio from CD/DVD. I'm using a external USB Creative MP3 card in a TOSHIBA P35-S609

Here's my lspci output:

Any ideas/sugestions will be really appreciated

Thank you very much

have you got a digital audio cable from your CD drive to your sound card?

robebe · 12-04-2004, 08:47 PM

Best regards Ror:

Forgot to mention that this is a notebook computer with dual OS (Windoze XP-SP2 & RH FC3) the sound works fine under WindozeXP.

ror · 12-04-2004, 08:48 PM

Yeah but windows XP doesn't neccessarily need that cable to play CD sound

By default the CD sound level is off.

You should be able to change this with either kmix (GUI) or alsamixer (CLI).

In Kmix, look under the input section (the cd logo).

In Alsamixer, it is labeled CD (scroll to the right w/the right arrow).
<pg up>, <pg dn> (or arrow up/down) to increase/decrease level.
<esc> to save settings.

I went to kmix and there's no CD option and the section for current mixer is blank and nothing shows in the drop-down arrow. The same for alsamixer...no CD option.

from the alsamixer screen:

Never mind.......I went into XINE and changed the option: "Audio driver to use" from Auto to ESD and that fix the problem.

Thank you very much for all the help and assistance. While troubleshooting this issue I learned a lot....!!!

You guys are my new best friends...!!
