the cable and know it's connected and are not assuming that the cable is
connected because Windows plays the CD's, run a mixer, kmix for KDE,

Hmmm, this is weird. I now have it working.
If I use kmix I can get it to work. However, if I use the gnome mixer
(the one on the sound menu called Volume Control) it kills the sound as
soon as it opens. There is no way to turn the sound on again except to
start kmix and turn on the cd audio.
Thanks for pointing me to kmix!
I'm guessing arts is getting in the way of the gnome mixer. Are you logged in under KDE or Gnome? FWIW, I've abandoned the BlueCurve desktop for straight KDE 3.1 because I got sick of trying to figure out what was and wasn't going to work right under RH's KDE.
I really don't think RH put much effort into getting KDE working right under BlueCurve. If you're gonna run one of the RH stock desktops, use Gnome. It just works better with RH 8. If you like to play, grab the KDE 3.1 source and build it. I sure am glad I did.
