[newbie] CD sound
After a lot of struggling with alsamixer and other programs, I was able to get sound from 3 computers. I was all happy until I decided to listen to a CD. No sound. I have looked everywhere I can see and see no problem. Also, when one goes to configure your desktop-sound-sound system, there is a button to test MIDI. Nothing happens if I press there. I suspect the only sound I can produce is Wav sound. Any help to allow me to listen to my music will be greatly appreciated. Teilhard. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If so, maybe you use a CD player like Noatun (the KCDplayer). That one requires analog input. That means you'll have to check if there is an audio cable from the device to the motherboard or soundcard. Other players like grip or xmms can use digital input and require no audio cable. I don't think grip needs any additional software, but xmms does. I think it is called xmms-cdread. But first, try grip. If no go, report back.

[newbie] CD sound only from Totem
Hey all, Weird problem, I can play CD's no problem in Totem (not my favourite), but not GnomeCD, GRip, or ROX-CD. All are set to use /dev/hdd as the CD reader (actually my DVD drive). There does not appear in any of them to be a way to set it to use ALSA or OSS, so I'm not sure if that is the problem.

[newbie] CD Sound
Hi All, Well, I spend 2 days off and on downloading 8.1, but I got it and it installed almost flawlessly. Except for a problem that has plagued me since I bought my PC. I have a BlasterPC from Empac, and it uses a motherboard pretty much designed by Creative Labs. My DVD drive that is in my box (my CDRW is USB external) has the audio cable running through the digital port instead of the analog due to the fact this board is based off of having the SoundBlaster Live 5.1 Platinum integrated into it. When I try to play music CD's under Mandrake using CD Player, it recognizes the CD drive and it recognizes the fact there is an audio cd in the drive, but no matter how I set the mixers throughout KDE, I still get no sound. Any ideas on what I can do to make mandrake be able to play digital audio, or do I have to hook up the analog cable as well. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
