audio CDs in linux

post #1 of 10

Thread Starter 
I have installed Fedora Core 3 (64bit) on my Emachines M6811. I get the soundeffects in GNOME, but when I insert an audio CD the CD player opens and shows tracks etc, but I cannot hear a thing. I have unmuted everything and cranked up all the levels in the soundmanager, but this did not help. Googling this problem yields many reports of the same issue, but no solution ... so I'm posting it again. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

is the audio cable from the CD ROM connected to your sound card?

It is a notebook with integrated DVD+/-RW and soundcard. I'm not sure if there's a cable, but the music plays fine in Win XP and the soundtheme beeps in linux are fine as well.

Hmm... if there's any way to upgrade to gnome 2.10 in FC3, the new CD player will do digital audio extraction, DAE. Otherwise, just grab xmms (I think it's yum xmms, no?), and in the preferences, turn on DAE for CD Audio.

Maybe try and stop the sound daemon in gnome and try it again. Also open a terminal and run you cd player from the CLI it will atleast hopefully output any errors in that term.

"yum install xmms" did the trick. However, when I press the play button in xmms it just opens the user directory, and I'm not sure where the audio CD is located (newbie here).

It's probably at /mnt/cdrom... You need to open the preferences in the cdrom input options for XMMS and set the device location.

Thanks, I figured that out and xmms now reads the audioCD and displays track titles. Unfortunately, I still cannot hear anything so there's no improvement over the default CDplayer (gnome-cd). I played with the output options and tried both OSS and ALSA, but there was no difference. What could I try next?
