(1) Right click on xmms (not on the playlist window). Select "Options"->
"Preferences"
(2) In the "Input Plugin" pane, select "CD Audio Player" and click
"Configure"
(3) In the configuration dialog, check "Digital audio extraction"

I tried File | Play media ... and then in the file selection box that appears, selected /dev/cdrecorder, /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd, all of which sounded likely, but none of them worked.

You need KSCD 1.6. KDE 3.4 is really old, you should consider upgrading.

Try configure it via Extras/Configure KsCD to select the audio backend as Alsa and make sure "Use direct digital playback" is ticked and its pointing to the correct device i.e. I've got a CDwriter and DVD player in my PC and it selected the CDwriter as the player. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Playing CDs
I have a Compaq with an AMD64 dual core processor and an IXP SB-400 AC'97 Audio controller using the ATI IXP AC97 controller driver under SuSE 10.0. The only problem I have with it is that it won't play music CDs from DVD/CDrom drive. The machine dual boots with XP. All the sounds work on XP and I can play CDs from the DVD/CDrom drive. So the hardware all appears to be present and correct. In Linux, where I spend most of my time, the system sounds work perfectly, and I can check the sounds in the YaST control centre where everything appears to be OK. When I put a CD into the drive, a SUSE Hardwar Detection dialog opens asking if I want to open the CD, with KsCD. I say, "Open" and KsCD opens. The CD light flashes and the KsCD 'LCD' says that the CD is playing with a volume setting of 99%. However, I hear nothing. I've checked all the volume settings I can find, and they all appear to be OK. Does anyone have a clue what I'm missing?
