Hi folks,
I'm hoping that someone will have been through this! I've got a new PC, and I'm attempting an install of 8.2 (waiting for the 9.1 CDs to arrive). I've installed ALSA, with some success - the sound is an onboard VIA8233/AC97, and I can play MP3s, I'm getting some noises out of KDE even though arts is complaining mightily - but I can't get a peep out of a CD. Is this back-to-front or what?
The CD is a CD/RW, and is set up in fstab as scd0; it works beautifully as a data CD, and I've successfully ripped tracks using grip - and the resulting files sound great in XMMS! but I can't hear a thing when the CD is playing.
I looked at the Wiki, and saw Regis' suggestions - when I ll /dev/cdrom I get
/dev/cdrom -> cdroms/cdrom0
and when I ll /dec/scd0 I get
/dev/scd0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
so I think that's okay.
Any clues where to look for answers?
Probably because the audio cable from the cd to the sound card is not installed. You will need to open the computer case and check, if missing then install.
