Hello,
You also did not mention your specific hardware (processor, motherboard, I assume you used 3rd party installers for osX) and the version of X you are using?

Still having a voyage of discovery with X over here ;-) I tried to play an audio CD, a store bought one which works on other players, and when any program, such as iTunes or Audion X, tries to play the disc, the little speaker icon just goes down the list of songs one after the other and doesn't play any of them. Even if you select a certain song, no go. It just scrolls down the list, no sound comes out.


..And the saga continues. I didn't change anything, but after a power failure forced a reboot, I now notice that iTunes tries to play the disc properly. That is, the speaker icon stops in front of the song and its time remaining etc. is displayed in the title bar at the top. However there's no sound. I checked ... <snip>


Yes, I did check the audio cable and it is connected properly to the 'CD SND INPUT' connecter on the motherboard. I'm using OS X version 10.2 installed on a PowerTowerPro 250 with 512megs RAM and a Powerlogix [EMAIL PROTECTED] accelerator card. 50 MHz system bus, CD connected to the internal Mac scsi as opposed to the Adaptec AHA-2940UW scsi card. X installed via XpostFacto 3.0b9 from a working OS 9.1 installation. I tried to import songs from the CD into mp3 format, and the hard disk churned like it was working, the display said the song was importing, but the CD drive never spun up so I don't know exactly how it was getting stuff off the disk. I didn't see any finished mp3 of the song either, after it said it was done importing. I tried inserting another CD, same deal. The system drive churns like music is being spooled off of it, yet the CD drive never spins up. iTunes says its playing the CD, but no sound comes out. What the hell is going on with this thing? I thought Macs were supposed to be simple!
