This is bizarre. I've copied some of my audio CD's (for back-up purposes, of course ;-) using the copy CD facility in K3B on 9.1. The copies completed without error, but when I go to play them in a CD player, the disc is identified, the number and lengths of tracks reported OK, the tracks start playing OK, but there is no sound!!! Albums full of 3.5 minute slices of perfect silence, neatly moving through the track listings, playing to their correct length, before stopping at the end!!! But not even a blip on the level meters! Now, I know that the arty set are into this sort of thing, but I'm not. What happened????
Yes, I've checked the CD player works (on the originals), there's no copy protection on the CD's (too old for that), my CD-R drive and DVD drive also give me silence (CDDB works though). Now, I KNOW that CD copies are done by ripping data / writing data through the IDE interface, but it's almost like tape-deck dubbing without the audio cable between the decks :-) Funnily enough, I don't have an audio cable installed on one of the drives I used in the copy... The only thing I can think of is a problem with K3B / cdrecord / cdrao / whatever. I'm using various PLF and Tex packages for most of these. Before trying to hunt it down, has anyone else hit this? Any other suggestions? Cheers! John.
