[gentoo-user] Problems mounting CD-Rom device [solved]
Hello everybody! Thank you Aaron for your posting, at the moment I received your e-mail I was just reading an article about mounting cd's and that audio cd's cannot be mounted ;-) I would like to ask you how can I point my cdplayer to my cdrom-device? I am using (well, I am trying to use ...) cdplay from a shell. When I type cdplay -i (for listing tracks), it recognises perfectly the tracks on the CD. When I type cdplay -c it starts playing, but I cannot hear any sound. When I type cdplay -I it states about the track it is playing at this moment. I have read the README file corresponding to the program cdplay, but it is a very short file and it only states the way to use the program. Is there anybody who could help me with this issue? (Perhaps I need to install some more alsa-tools, or something like that - only for your information: I installed Gentoo 2005.0 (stage3-athlon-xp) on my laptop and since then I only updated the portage tree and installed fetchmail, procmail, nbsmtp, mutt, muttprint, pcmcia-cs, prism54-firmware - and I think, nothing else). Thank you very much! Bye, Nelly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You should ensure that you've got the little connector cable between the cdrom and the sound card. Personally my sound card doesn't have the capability to receive input from the cdrom drive, so I'm forced to use xmms with the cdreading pluggin... YMMV. Did you check alsamixer settings as well ? All channels are muted by default. BR Thomas -- Thomas Drueke [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I am sure that mplayer -cdda also reads the data from the CD directly a la paranoia, and can thus play the disc without having the audio cable.
