My CDs wont play in SuSE Linux
 

My CDs Wont play in SuSE linux. I know the sound works because I player the test sound, and KDE plays the sound on login. I tried grip and a few other CD players and none of them seem to work. any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark Watson

update: I can play movies with sound, and music i ripped can play with sound. I think it might be that i dont have the audio cord thingi the gos from the cd player to the motherboard pluged in. ill try pluging it in...

I have exactly the same problem on my Thinkpad 770 laptop with a CS4232 sound card. It works in Windows and I can play sound files in Linux (SuSE 9.0) but not CDs.

Getting sound to work at all was a real struggle...

Sorry but no answer yet!

Maybe it's hardware? I think you need to have the CDrom audio going directly to the soundcard.

Yeah...like that =o)

I suppose you have checked with your mixer that CD audio volume is up and not muted ?

YES!! That worked for me - now all I need to do is understand all the various routes for sound and the paramerets that control them!

Many thnaks
