Sorry. I'm not picking on you. Maybe it sounded that way. I apologize if it did. |

Along the lines of what Dale suggested is your user account part of |
| 44 |
the audio group? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I've not had any problem with Linux audio in a while, at least not CD |
| 47 |
playing, although I don't do a lot of that in Linux so maybe I've |
| 48 |
missed something. I will say from personal experience that I've had |
| 49 |
the fewest problems with xine but it has a fairly involved user |
| 50 |
interface that isn't the easiest thing to get through if you've not |
| 51 |
used it before. I use it all the time for DVDs, and sometimes for CDs |
| 52 |
although all of that is digitized these days and I hardly ever touch |
| 53 |
physical CDs. |

|
| 55 |
Again, my apologies if I ticked you off. I do that sometimes. :-) ;-) |
