playing CD's through IDE cable
Hey,
I am trying to play a CD through XMMS or another CD player. I don't have a sound cable attached to my sound card from the CD player. I have setup my sound card correctly and can play MP3's, and the CD player displays the elapsed time when trying to play CD's. In the configuration options I have changed the CD player device from /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0 but recieve the error /dev/scd0 does not appear to point to a valid CD device. This may be because: a) CD support is not present in your machine b) You do not have the correct permissions to access the CD drive c) /dev/scd0 is not the CD drive. This means that the CD player will not be able to run. I have changed the permissions on scd0. Any help would be appreciated. -E |
It is required to have the sound cable. In linux DAE is not a capability... yet...
DAE is the Digital Audio Extraction done through the IDE cables. This is MUCH more CPU intensive and what's the point when you have a soundcard for that? Well that's what the audio cable is for ;) HTH Cool |
MasterC,
Thanks for the reply. I was just to lazy to pull apart my box. -E |
From my understanding this xmms plug-in is
able to play audio-CD's by digital transfer (no audio-cable from CD to sound-card), but I haven't tried yet (too lazy to rip my box apart ;}) Cheers, Tink |
Whoa! That's the first I've heard of this, just read the comments on it, certainly sounds like it can do exactly that. Thanks for the link Tinkster!
:) Cool |

I only found that one because I never liked the input plugin for CD's that came with xmms ... I've been using digital transfer with no problems even on my old notebook (under OS/2 - *sigh* - I _really_ miss it :}) almost 4 years ago ... gave more volume than the cable ;) Cheers, Tink |
