I am using AC '97. I will try to run alsaconf as root when I get home from work. I already tried chmod 777 on /dev/hda, as well as chmod 755, and editing my cdrom group (which is the group /dev/hda is a part of).

Sound problem

Hi,

About the problem in the link, not sure if it is the main problkem or not but I had this with KDE and a SoundBlaster Audigy card the other day basically if you open up the Kmix volume control and go to settings and select configure Kmix the bottom option reads "Restore volumes on Login" what I found was this was actually being reset every time that the audio player amaroK in this case was trying to play a new sound and as described in the link given earlier it was resetting the PCM slider which was muting the sound. Just disable the check box.

You should try to mount the device from a console and paste the output here so we can see what's exactly happening. TIA

Really sorry. I thought that instead of writing the link/vb code, I'd get lazy like wih Wordpress and highlight before clicking the "http" button. Obviously there's a bit of a glitch in the form. It won't happen again. And, although I don't hate msn's owners, I certainly don't condone or support them much either.

Back to writing by hand without the mouse except for "submit".

BTW, glad to see that you fixed the problem.

I can mount the drive fine, and even browse to it in Konqueror. I still can't play any sounds, however. Alsaconf didn't recognize my sound card.

you could try opening a terminal and then type su to become root then type modprobe and follow with the name of your sound module. That will hopefully load it Then add that module name to your /etc/modules file (it's a file not a folder) to load it on boot.

If you don't know the name of the modules for your sound and ethernet devices then just boot to a livecd and then open a terminal and type kudzu -p as root and look for Sound and Network sections. The driver name (module) will be listed for each.

Interesting new development. I edited my groups file, then rebooted, and got some progress. I can now copy (as a user) a .wav file from a CD to my harddrive, and then play it without issue. however, I still receive a permission error when I try and play the file from the CD. Is there a command line tool to check this, because then I could paste in the error message. Thanks to all for help to date.

gravesb, you could try changing the permissions of your CDrom drive from default to users, here is a copy of mine...

/dev/cdrom /cdrom auto noauto,users,ro 0 0

You could try the last part of
Code:
dmesg
or you could start your cd player from a command prompt (with the application's name) and see if there's any error output

Ups, sorry for forgetting such a silly thing.
There is a option passed to mount in /etc/fstab which disallows execution of binary files from a given partition: the option is noexec, check if it's present. If not you surely have the defaults options which could include it. You can explicitly allow execution with the exec option. Also the user option implies the noexec option, unless overridden by explicitly setting the exec option.

This is a hardware problem.

It can have several causes. Some harmless, and some a bit more serious.

hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Indicates a bad sector. If this where from my hard drive I would fall into shudders, but as it is a DVD, I would thing it's simply a b0rked disc.
It can be that it's the DVD device which is b0rked, but it's easier that it's the disc.

If this happens with every disc you should consider getting a lens-cleaner disc or maybe even changing the device.

If this happens only with this disc, I would suggest testing the MD5 sum of the ISO and burning it again.

For my own education....if its a hardware problem, how come I can still access the files through a file browser, copy them to my harddrive, and then play them? I don't know how KsCD works, but if my computer is able to move the .wav as a file and then read it, it should be able to read it from the CD and direct the output to KsCD for play.

Very simple: If you try to play the file you get errors as it is trying to access it in real time. Unlike this, when you copy the file, each time an error occurs, the system attempts to re-read the damaged sector until it is correctly copied (the copy is made to RAM first and then to disk). The error messages where not produced by KsCD, but by the kernel itself and offers no doubt about it's nature.

Copying a file and streaming a file are two different processes.

You can make a test to see that those errors are also happening during the copy process. First try to play the file in a normal way for some seconds, then open a console as root and type:
Code:
cat /var/log/messages | tail -n 30
After this copy the file to the harddisk and watch the logs again with the above command.
