What do you use to start the CD playing?  I found out my newly
installed SCSI CD was not properly supported by cdtool and
dcd... cdtool's cdplay can't start it, whereas dcd can... but dcd
doesn't show it playing when it actually does, whereas cdtool's cdinfo
shows it as playing.

Weird.  Maybe it's the same with your stuff... try different players
(if you haven't already).

HTH,

This might sound like a dumb sugesstion, but did you double check the cable
that goes from the CD drive to the soundcard?  I forgot all about that cable
once - took me most of a week before I thought to check it.  The cable was
still sitting in my parts box.  Another time I had a bad cable - one of the
leads was broken internally.

Second thing I would do is fire up a mixer-type program and see what the CD
audio level is set to.  It just might be set all the way down.  The Ensoniq
Soundscape I have in this machine was a bit of a pain in the ass that way
for a while.

I have tried many different mixers.

This is a dual boot machine and cd audio works in the other (W98) system.
I guess I should just get a new sound card.

Two thoughts:

(1) Is there a cable inside the computer connecting the CD-ROM to the
sound card?

(2) Run a Linux mixer program.  Is the CD audio volume non-zero?  Is
the master volume non-zero?
