Strange XMMS problem
I have a very strange problem with xmms. It doesn't play audio cds (cda files) while it can easily be done with totem or rhytmbox. As I say it doesn't play, it's not really true - the slider goes on but there is no sound. However, I can hear music with same settings when playing with xmms mp3 or ogg files. I tried deleting .xmms folder (maybe I have made some stupid settings) but it didn't help,then checked what plugins are enabled (read cd was enabled) but everything seems ok.
It's not really a big problem because I can also use totem and other players but I prefer listening with xmms due its compact frontend. And also I am very curious about this strange xmms behaviour. |
Hello
Go to Preferences -> Audio I/O plugins Select CD Audio player and click on configure Are the device parameters correct? Is Digital audio extraction enabled? Have a lot of fun Koen Plessers |
or you can use kscd

My sound card is integrated Realtec'97 so cd-rom cable goes directly into my motherboard.

It's quite common that Analog does not work. Analog requires a cable that goes directly into soundcard from the CD drive.
Digital will work no matter what(assuming your PC is fast enough, which i can almost guarantee that it is), and it actually sounds better and can use visualizations and equalizers. So if your PC can support it, just use Digital. |
Thanks for explanation, liquidtenmillion.
It could happen because I've recompiled my 2.6 kernel with scsi-cdrom support recently. So my cdrom became /dev/sdc from /dev/hdc. Maybe that's why analog mode doesn't work anymore. |
My thanks to Koen Plessers for pointing me in the right direction (to the XMMS prefs) following a kernel recompile and subsequent weirdness from XMMS. It had automatically set the output plugin to be OSS when of course it should have been ALSA.
After changing that and a couple of output settings in Kmix that was me playing MP3s with XMMS once again. Kind regards, dkpw |
