Re: can't listen to my audio cds
Hi,
Dave, I have the same problem with my audio CD's
however mine is spread all throughout other OS's as
well....can u hear sound if you connect a headphone to
the headphone jack of your CD-ROM drive?? (if ur
CD-ROM has one).....also what sound card are u using??
and which sound drivers???....basically with my Opti
sound card and using the MAD16 drivers I think there's
an option to disable/enable CD support i.e. CD-in for
the Sound card, with my driver I think it's using the
cdtype argument which by default is disabled....I'd
recommend u go through the
/usr/src/kernel2.2.17/Documentation/sound
files...maybe they'd help....but if you do have a
phone jack on ur CD-ROM drive then please check to see
first if sound plays through that, since it could be a
drive fault.
Hope the above is of some help
