Re: [newbie] CD player, volume very faint
OK, that was it! Duh, slap forehead: no cable from CDR to Ensoniq (which I earlier specified as ISA, but I was staring cross-eyed at my modem -- it's a PCI card) which fortunately has inputs for CD and AUX. So now both the CDR and CDRW play thru speakers. Thanks to Dennis, Tom, s et al for an education in how Windoze and Linux differ in their approach to hardware. I just couldn't wrap my mind around WinME getting sound from both devices -- a mental block. So it was sucking vibes through the motherboard, bypassing the cable. What a hoot! So now I'll turn my attention to the ISA modem, which pnpdump has told me all about. I gather I can just check the settings in Windows and there's a pretty good chance if those show up commented, I can uncomment and feed to isapnp, to get a working modem (I have DSL already working, so this isn't super high priority -- more in the just for fun category).

I'm in Mandrake right now, and thought the installation process very smooth. I have two CDs on ide1. Set cdplayer to look at /mnt/cdrom2. When I play a music cd, the volume is incredibly faint. HardDrake found the ISA Ensoniq and played the 8-bit sound test (dunno about getting MIDI up yet -- works in WinME). What I'm not finding is a global volume control in any of the config tools.

An extremely logical conclusion to draw and I thought it might be so, as I've installed a new floppy drive recently. Not so though, as I'm listening to a cd in WinMe on the same machine right now. I'll dink around for awhile. I'm at the bottom of the proverbial steep learning curve which we all associate with Linux. Have 'Linux Cookbook' by Michael Stutz at my elbow.

If yes, then I suspect the audio cable from the CDplayer to the soundcard has a problem. Otherwise, hook a headphone to the output on the CDplayer, and check if both channels work that way.

RE: [newbie] cd player problem
Thanks Roger, I finally decided I better open the box and try the sound card connections which is what the problem turned out to be. After disconnecting and reconnecting them the sound was back in the other channel although they seemed to be connected well before I disconnected them.

OF COURSE YOU CAN.. THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO MOUNT YOUR CD-ROM IN SOME FILE... ALMOST ALWAYS CALLED CDROM... AND IF YOU HAVE A CD WRITER YOU HAVE TO MOUNT IT MANUALLY IN ANOTHER FILE... THAT YOU MUST CREATE. MKDIR filename then /mount /dev/cd-writer /filename then you have to put those settings in your fstab inside your /etc directory to make it automatic. -Original Message- From: Paul [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2000 11:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [newbie] cd player (was: modems) On Tue, 2 May 2000, gerald green wrote: the cd player on linux will not play Can you access the CDRom in linux?
