Hi, cF. I'm not on 9.1 yet, so this may or may not help. Under 9.0, and using an Audigy, I had to follow the advice given on Derek's useful linux page: http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/ Look under CD Audio problems > KSCD apparently plays but no sound The advice given suggests that it's only necessary if you don't have the audio cable, but I do have one, and I still needed to do that.
