It could also be that your CD drive is not connected to your sound card with an audio cable. Since Windows uses the IDE interface to play CDs rather than the audio cable most new PCs don't have one (I presume the manufacturer must save a couple of pennies per box by this or something ;-)). To get around this with XMMS go into preferences then the configuration for the input plugin "CD Audio Player [libcdaudio.so]" and set "Play mode" to "Digital audio extraction" rather than analog. Hope that helped. :-) -- Nicholas Lativy http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lativy
