I'm running SuSE 10.0.
I cannot get an audio cd to play.
I get sound on boot I get sound on restart .
I get sound on test in yast.

KsCd will recognize the cd and seems to be playing it but I hear nothing.
My sound card is a SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio reported in YAST as
82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Contorller

I'm not sure if that 's the software or the card or even if the card is built into the motherboard or not. I'm running a Dell Dimension 3000 which is fairly new to me.

Can someone help me with this???

Here is my dmsg

Thanks,

To play audio CDs directly from the disk you usually need to have a "sound" cable from your CD/DVD reader to your motherboard. Take a look at your CD/DVD drive connectors: There should be 3: IDE flat-cable connector, Power Connector and Sound Cable.

If the sound cable is there, fire up kmix and check you do not have the relevant channel muted.

HTH

Well, it works in windows it plays music quite well. So I think it must have a cable connected to the mother board ... This is wierd . What it seem like to me is that there is a volume control somewhere that I don't know about... I have adjusted the volume with the volume control that is in yast sound configuration. Still nothing

thanks,
Nate

Dunno if this is BS- very new to linux- but it seems to me that DAE isn't fully/at all supported by alsa. DAE is what you'll be using under windows to listen to your cd's. DAE stands for Digital Audio Extraction, and uses the ide cable to read from the cd rather than the cd-rom playing the cd and it sending an analogue signal down this cable that probably isn't connected in your box The cables only cost a quid or 2 iirc, altho the sound quaity won't be as good as with DAE.

Did you get the sound to work? I have the same problem.

Yeah!!

I also have been having this same problem for weeks. When I posted about it, I was called a "troll" and ridiculed because I didn't see the necessity of all this "permissions" BS. What's the relevance on a single-user, home system?

My guess is that if the "EXPERTS" cant use a thread to demean newbies, it's just ignored.

I am having the same problem but curiously it is specific to kscd. Gxine and xmms can play CDs

I'm having a similar but different problem. I get sound on login but after that nothing works right. My mixer shows that there isnt anything muted but when I try to play a mp3 in xmms or kaffeine it just sits there and will not play.

(Also running SUSE 10)

I think Mint Sauce and tredegar are on the right track here folks. Windows can use the DAE option and I believe XP actually defaults this way. This being the case, I would definately crack that case open and double check for the "audio" cable. Another option is, many cd-roms have a headphone jack on the front. Slap some headphones on there and see if you're getting audio there...
