I have ~500 LPs and some more CDs and listen to them on my ancient, but excellent, Onkyo-HiFi. Of course my computer is connected to it, so I can listen to mp3s using this superb hardware too :) can't see why anyone would) and it indeed has not. maybe the option was moved to the backend? Doesn't seem so. I looked really, really hard to find this setting anywhere, cause I remember there was one quite some time ago. Nothing, nowhere afaict. , but it plays audio-cds just fine from my SATA-drive. well... its not a big revelation that this is possible ;) as long as the functionality for direct playback (through the extra cable) wasn't completely removed from kscd (possible, anyone interested should read the changelogs) it's still a very reasonable explanation for this problem since it's working in caffeine but not in a simple application like kscd which is more likely to rely on builtin functionality. I think, that this is gstreamer related. Colleen uses phonon-gstreamer, whereas I use phonon-xine, because I had only bad experiences with the gstreamer phonon-backend. Best, Michael

Re: [gentoo-user] Issue 3 - CD Playing
This is solved. The solution came from posting to KDE forums. It was a configuration issue: In System Settings, I had to select Device Actions, Play Audio CD with KsCD, select Edit, select the devices property Available Content must equal Audio, choose Property Matchfor the parameter type, Optical Disk for the Device type, Available Content for the Value name and Equals Audio. That did the trick!

Using -interactive, you can do anything you could do with a GUI as the library libgstcdda2wav.so is intended to be used with gstreamer.

Some applications will rip and play the cdda-tracks directly from the CD. Others will simply tell the CD-drive to play an audio-cd and have the cd-drive do the decoding. In the latter case, the audio-signal goes over a little cable from the cd-drive to the soundcard. I assume that it is connected because I could play an audio file (ogg) from my hard drive. Also, now I can play CD's using kaffeine, just not kscd. I can rip them using asunder. hi colleen, that is not how it works, those are two very different methods of playing audio. if the cable between the cdrom and the soundcard is connected, you can play CDs directly from the drive with minimum software interaction or tell the cdrom to play the cd on the soundcard. that has nothing to do with playing ogg from HD, the data takes a totally different path. i do not know if kscd does that, but as joost pointed out that would be a good explanation why you can play CDs in kaffeine but not in kscd. check for the cable. /jonas Regards, Colleen

In the latter case, the audio-signal goes over a little cable from the cd-drive to the soundcard. I assume that it is connected because I could play an audio file (ogg) from my hard drive. Also, now I can play CD's using kaffeine, just not kscd. I can rip them using asunder. hi colleen, that is not how it works, those are two very different methods of playing audio. if the cable between the cdrom and the soundcard is connected, you can play CDs directly from the drive with minimum software interaction or tell the cdrom to play the cd on the soundcard. that has nothing to do with playing ogg from HD, the data takes a totally different path. i do not know if kscd does that, but as joost pointed out that would be a good explanation why you can play CDs in kaffeine but not in kscd. check for the cable. or tell kscd to use digital playback: http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/408961-kscd-wont-play-cds-sata-drive.html /jonas Regards, Colleen

Since you are trying to use KDE apps to play CDs you ought to check that you
have installed:
kde-base/kdemultimedia-meta
kde-base/kdemultimedia-kioslaves
If you're using a good chunk of kde, emerge kde-base/kde-meta. Makes
kde upgrades simpler, and less pollution in the world file.
To be honest, I don't want meta anything, bur from what I understand,
sets don't come into play until 4.7 and that isn't stable yet. I didn't
want to install unstable KDE.
Regards,
Colleen
Using kde-meta doesn't have to pull in anything unstable. The reason
for kde-meta is for those who want to install everything KDE and get it
all in one command. I use kde-meta here since KDE is my primary desktop
and I wanted to get the whole she bag, pardon the pun. lol
If you don't use unmask/keywords, then emerging kde-meta will just
install the things you have not installed yet. It could be that a
package that is needed is not yet installed. Then again, maybe
something is muted. ^_^ Maybe this will explain it better:
root@fireball / # eix kde-meta
[I] kde-base/kde-meta
Available versions: (4) 4.6.3 4.6.5 (~)4.7.1 (~)4.7.2{tbz2}
{accessibility aqua kdeprefix nls oldpim sdk semantic-desktop}
Installed versions: 4.7.2(4){tbz2}(03:44:51 AM 10/07/2011)(nls
semantic-desktop -accessibility -aqua -oldpim -sdk)
Homepage:http://www.kde.org/
Description: KDE - merge this to pull in all split
kde-base/* packages
root@fireball / #
That make sense? Cents? Whichever. lol
Ma'am. No hat tonight.

So, despite the fact that I'm not 100% tickled since I'm a bit anal and like all things tied up in a neat little box with a bow, I have audio CD's playing in kaffeine and I am able to rip them using asunder. However, I will keep this for future reference in case I ever need it! :-) Regards, Have you tried a fresh KSCD config file yet? I have noticed recently that when I upgrade KDE, at least one config file sort of burps on me and I have to give it a clean start. Last time was Kpat. I dunno. I can't find one on here. I guess I haven't used it for it to create one. It's usually in /home/user/.kde4/share/config. I'm not certain on the name tho. Ma'am. Dale :-) :-)

Is your user added to the cdrom or similar groups? One thing you could try, run the program as root in a terminal, Konsole here for me. That will eliminate a permissions issue real quick and you can look for errors too. If it works, then it is just a permissions problem. If it doesn't work, then it is something with the program itself or hardware related. Let's hope for the permissions one. It's easier to fix and you don't have to take the sides off the puter either. If it is the program, well, who knows when that could get fixed. Ma'am. tips hat Dale :-) :-)

Yes! :-) In my more newbie days, this was one thing that bit ME in the butt a few times so, I've learned to cover that base before I cry wolf! :-) One thing you could try, run the program as root in a terminal, Konsole here for me. Running kscd in a console as root, starts kscd. The first time I tried it, I got a message about asound. I tried running it under by user id and got no error message. I ran it again as root thinking I would post the message, but didn't get any message the second time. Likewise, for kaffeine, but neither will play an audio CD when started this way either. That will eliminate a permissions issue real quick and you can look for errors too. If it works, then it is just a permissions problem.

If it is the program, well, who knows when that could get fixed. I doubt that it is a hardware issue. The drive reads data CD's and sound works on the computer - in Juk (which I don't normally use 'cause I prefer amarok) and also in kaffeine, I can play an audio file that I have on my hard drive.

I've not had any problem with Linux audio in a while, at least not CD playing, although I don't do a lot of that in Linux so maybe I've missed something. I will say from personal experience that I've had the fewest problems with xine but it has a fairly involved user interface that isn't the easiest thing to get through if you've not used it before. I use it all the time for DVDs, and sometimes for CDs although all of that is digitized these days and I hardly ever touch physical CDs. Again, my apologies if I ticked you off. I do that sometimes. :-) ;-) - Mark
