No sound from cds

I'm having a problem w/ my cd player in RH8 . My sounds works fine with everything else. When I try to play a cd. The program looks like it works fine. It recognizes the cd and start playing, but no sound comes out. I'm using Gnome cd player.

Is the cable from the CD to the sound card connected?

If I'm correct Gnome CD Player uses the old fashioned analog audio output from the cd drive. Is there an cd-audio cable going from your CD-drive to your soundcard?

If your sound is built into the motherboard, then it will plug into there, probably somewhere near the speaker/mic/line jacks.

My compaq doesn't seem to have the cable yall are talking about. I've seen the cable in some older computers i've worked w/ but I dont see it coming from my sound card and theres nothing coming from the cd either. Does this info help any? Any ideas what to do?

You need to purchance an audio cable.

or you might want to try the command aumix -I. that is "aumix" plus a minus capital i [eye].

You can try to play the CD with XMMS. It will push the sound over the bus. it isn't convenient for playing CDs, but at least you will know that it works. Simply select 'Add File', then navigate to /mnt/cdrom and add 'All files in the list'.

XMS doesn't do that unless you have the beta CDDA plug-in.

You can try cdda2wav but you need your IDE CD-ROM drive emulated for SCSI. Also you need cdrecord to look up the SCSI bus.
