Got all excited here, 'cause I hadn't done as you suggested and thought
that it might solve the problem. However, when I selected direct
digital playback, the CD appears to be playing - i.e. the "Play" button
changes to "Pause", but the timer that advances as the track plays
remains at 0:00 and I still get no sound. With 'direct digital
playback' *not* selected, I get no sound, but the timer advances as the
track plays.
Regards,
Colleen

Does your CDROM drive have a dedicated headphone socket?, if so, plug
it in and see if you get any sound.
My personal suggestion : ditch kscd. My cd player/sound system works
fine, and kscd just thrashes doing the exact same thing you did ( I
removed my audio cable to ensure proper digital extraction... it just
didn't play ball ).
if you have mplayer, try this:
mplayer cdda:// -cdrom-device /dev/hdWHATEVER
or
mplayer cddb:// -cdrom-device /dev/hdWHATEVER
if you dont have that, and have/want to use xine instead,
make sure setup/media->audio_cd.device is set and you should be away
laughing as soon as you hit that big 'cd button' on the UI or playlist
( i had a bit of delay... not sure why, but it worked )
Amarok should also be able to play CD's digitally via Xine ( tested
here to work )
