Its not the mixer thats making it suck, because if I boot with the cd it works fine, actually a really tight sound (moving up from using an old discman).
Its all fixed now, I sweated and I struggled and I managed to insert the dratted analog cable in the most confined case I've seen for a while, without removing a single thing. Regular inbuilt cd player works, GRIP works and XMMS works, and I can remove and change cds all I want.
Originally posted by drowstar Hi ,
try using kscd (hit alt-f1 and type kscd, if you cant find it in the menu. You probably need to have kde installed. I am not sure if that is standard in Fedora).
Make sure you have "direct digital playback" (in the "extras -> configure kscd" dialog) enabled for it to work without the cable.
Good luck,

I use Suse 9.3 with kde 3.4.1. I've tried this digital playback option in the past with other distros and it's always worked fine. I really prefer KsCD over other cd players..but for some odd reason, I don't even have that option! It's just not there. Odd? I even tried compiling a CVS version. Any ideas?
