Another question. I'm running Gentoo with all the latest packages. The
CD player doesn't seem to work just right. When I put a CD in, the
default CD player starts, and says that it is playing, but no music
comes out of the system speakers. I know that the sound system works,
because I can play MP3s from XMMS just fine. I've verified that the
CD-ROM is actually reading, because the earphone jack on the front of
the drive works. The sound is just getting lost somewhere between the
drive and my speakers. Am I missing something? Is there a special
setting that needs to get set?
Hyrum,
Some sound card drivers (SBLive is one of these) mute certain inputs on the sound card by default. One of these is the digital input that is sometimes hooked to the CD-ROM drive. Check your mixer settings (using aumix, or kmix, or whatever you prefer) and make sure that the inputs from your CD-ROM drive are not muted or turned down really low.
