 Well, I installed the xmms-1.2.10-9 from the RedHat distro CD 
 (RHEL4.0-U3). I went thru the options/preferences and configured:
 Input Plugins as CD Audio Player 1.2.10 (libcdaudio.so) with Playm mode 
 as  Analog and Volume control as OSS mixer.
 In the Output Plugin:
   Audio device : UAC3556B: USB Audio(hw:2,0) (libALSA.so)

 Yet with all the above configuration(s) set, the output doesn't go to 
 the USB headphone.  Any suggestions?  Thanks for your help.

You need to set play mode to digital audio extraction *not* analog!
The rest should be ok, make sure your path to your CD is configured
correctly.

It looks like you have a player/mixer problem.

If I understand correctly,


When I go thru hardware browser on RHEL4.0 I could test the hardware and the
USB audio head phones work.


words mean you do have sound.

So, you have to be more specific regarding CD playback - player application,
intent to play CD using analog CD-Rom ouput (and thus analog audio card
input) or using PCM (digital) CD-ROM output, OSS/ALSA layer, etc.

Yes, I could hear the test sound.

I am playing the audio CD thru CD-ROM.  The output is not reaching the 
headphones i.e, Micronas UAC3556B hardware. So I go thru the Alas Mixer 
app in the RHEL4.0 installation and yet no audio output in the 
headphones.  I couldn't find any documentation or HowTo for configuring 
this hardware.  Is this detail enough to describe the problem?  Please 
let me know.  Thanks for your reply.

 You need a CD player application which does a digital readout of
 the audio CD and plays this back on your USB card, e.g. xmms can do
 this. 

FWIW, XMMS is no longer actively developed.  I think the latest player
based on the XMMS code base is Beep Media Player 2.

I think that 'alsaplayer' also has a CD-read or something like that
plug-in, but I'm not 100% sure.

Did you read my message?  At least XMMS, Beep Media Player 2 can do it.
There are probably more.

 V. Ananda Krishnan,
 
 do you understand that CD-ROM can also export audio data in digital form ?
 
 Have you ever had a look at descriptions of CD-audio plugins ?
Well, I installed the xmms-1.2.10-9 from the RedHat distro CD 
(RHEL4.0-U3). I went thru the options/preferences and configured:
Input Plugins as CD Audio Player 1.2.10 (libcdaudio.so) with Playm mode 
as  Analog and Volume control as OSS mixer.
In the Output Plugin:
  Audio device : UAC3556B: USB Audio(hw:2,0) (libALSA.so)

Yet with all the above configuration(s) set, the output doesn't go to 
the USB headphone.  Any suggestions?  Thanks for your help.

As Lee Revell correctly pointed out, since your card is external, its
analog input is by definition disconnected from CD-ROM analog output.

I think you need this plugin:

Name: xmms-cdread
Version: 0.14a-5mdk
Architecture: i586
Size: 62 KB
Medium: contrib
Currently installed version: (none)

Summary: Input plugin that reads audio data from CDs

Description: This is an alternative to the xmms audio CD plugin with advanced 
features.

/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdread.so
/usr/share/doc/xmms-cdread-0.14a

Or/and this one:


Name: cdparanoia-plugin
Version: 0.1-6mdk
Architecture: i586
Size: 15 KB
Medium: contrib
Currently installed version: (none)

Summary: Digital CD playback plugin for XMMS

Description: This plugin reads CDDA sectors and passes them to XMMS directly. 
That way you don't need a cable from the CD-ROM to the sound card and you can 
use the usual effect and visualization plugins.

Files:
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdparanoia.so
/usr/share/doc/cdparanoia-plugin-0.1
/usr/share/doc/cdparanoia-plugin-0.1/README


- have you ever heard of 'cdparanoia' ?


You didn't answer my question:

do you understand that CD-ROM can also export audio data in digital form ?

- if you don't understand, then you don't understand the root cause of your
problem and the solutions offered.
