Well, the first think to check would be that you have an audio cable connected to the cdrom and sound card.

Are you sure you have an audio cable connected from the back of this drive to your soundcard? Not the ide cable, but an audio cable. It will have like a 4 pin connector (maybe 3) on the end of it. It's small, maybe 1/2 inch or less.

Cool

I have just installed Mandrake Linux v9.
I have the same exact problem.
I have sound for effects but nothing from the CD players.
I have tried everything in this thread and check the cable between the sound card and cdrom.
Nothing seems to be working.



xmms is able to play mp3 from hard disk.

do you have multiple drives? it could be trying to read from the wrong drive, you could have the volume for cd turned down... try using other cd players... i'm sure man9 comes with a bunch of audio players capable of playing cds
