In the meantime, I think there are other applications that play CDs the hard way, especially as evidenced by Jason's post. I don't know what they are, as I've actually never played an audio CD in any of my FreeBSD boxes. Opps, I should have just told you how I do it to begin with. I can use any app, put it is usually xmms. I config the player to play from /dev/acd0 and use digital audio only. I added a group called cd_access that could access and mount drives(cd drives only I think) and made my self a group member. I set vfs.usermount = 1 under sysctl.config. I added own/dev/acd0root:cd_access perm/dev/acd00770 to devfs.conf. I set this up when I was much newer to BSD, I think I may have the wrong permissions. Anyone see a problem? I can also mount cds to any dir I own without any su or sudo stuff. I can also burncds to with this set up. When I was really new I had to run xmms as root to get it to play cds, which is why I found this group stuff out so I would not need to run xmms as root. This should be in the handbook, anyone else think so? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(what application, etc) 2. Did you recently recompile your kernel with atapicam and forget to change you CDROM device in /etc/fstab?

It seems likely that the tiny analog or digital cable between your sound card and your CD-ROM drive is not connected. My cds play just fine without that cable. There are two ways sound gets from the CD to the sound card. It can go directly from the CD to the sound card through the analog or digital cable connecting the two. Or it can be read from the CD as data via the IDE interface and channeled to the sound card through the system bus in the same way as MP3s or any other digital sound information. How the sound actually travels is a function of what application is used to play the sound. The former is a more efficient use of system resources. Since the original poster can play MP3s but not CDs, there are two probable candidates for failure. The first and most likely is that the CD-ROM and sound card are not connected by that little cable, and that the original poster is using an application that just tells the CD-ROM drive to start playing instead of actually reading the music from the CD. The other and less likely is that the CD-ROM is not able to read the CD at all. -- Danny ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Jorge, Thankyou for your advice..
