Does your CDROM drive have a dedicated headphone socket?, if so, plug |
35 |
it in and see if you get any sound. |
36 |
My personal suggestion : ditch kscd. My cd player/sound system works |
37 |
fine, and kscd just thrashes doing the exact same thing you did ( I |
38 |
removed my audio cable to ensure proper digital extraction... it just |
39 |
didn't play ball ). |

if you have mplayer, try this: |
42 |
|
43 |
mplayer cdda:// -cdrom-device /dev/hdWHATEVER |
44 |
or |
45 |
mplayer cddb:// -cdrom-device /dev/hdWHATEVER |
46 |
|
47 |
if you dont have that, and have/want to use xine instead, |
48 |
make sure setup/media->audio_cd.device is set and you should be away |
49 |
laughing as soon as you hit that big 'cd button' on the UI or playlist |
50 |
( i had a bit of delay... not sure why, but it worked ) |
51 |
|
52 |
Amarok should also be able to play CD's digitally via Xine ( tested |
53 |
here to work ) |
