206800 2004-01-11 12:10:00 Greetings,

Ive been having one heck of a time trying to figure this one out.

Dont ask if Ive used alsamixer to un-mute, Ive been in #gentoo on irc.freenode.net most of the night and have been asked that about 4-5 times and no other suggestions. I promise its un-muted ;-)

grip will rip music fine,
cddb will lookup the names without issues
It wont however play.

I hit the Play button and nothing happens. Leave it for two mins and the slider is still at the start....

Same happens on the Family's PC, as well as mine. I have a Samsung CD-R/W and the family have a Ricoh drive, so its not the CDs etc.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

206801 2004-01-12 02:12:00 In Gnome anyway, you have to explicitly enable the sound server. I think.

It's in one of the system setup menus.

206802 2004-01-12 05:08:00 Sounds working fine for eveything else.

Madplay, mpg123, xmms, zinf, Mplayer, Xine, Gaim/aMSN's Alerts etc

Just CD Playback..?

Its not GNOME-specfic because command-line apps wont work either?

Thanks

206803 2004-01-12 10:14:00 I just checked and grip works under 2.6.0 for me.

Are you using ide-scsi for the drive? If so, disable it because it is broken and unmaintained in 2.6.

206804 2004-01-12 11:18:00 grip works fine for me too, rips great.

Hit the Play button though and nothing happens :-(

Dont use ide-scsi, Ive setup CD-R/W without it :D

206805 2004-01-12 18:20:00 You installed that little (usually grey) cable that runs from Analog (Audio) out into your a little port on your soundcard right?
That's supposed to be needed to do CD Playback.

Let me try that again now that I've reread my message:
Have you installed the little grey cable that runs from Analog (Audio) out on your CDRW to the relevant port on your soundcard.
It is needed to do CD Playback.

206807 2004-01-12 19:48:00 It used to work fine back when I had Slackware 9.1 running a 2.4 kernel.... Chilling_Silently (228)
