sound driver installed OK but audio CDs not playing through it

Post by robert » Thu, 20 May 1999 04:00:00



Hello,

I've managed yesterday to install the sound driver in linux (kernel
2.0.29, distribution SuSe 4.4.1). I can play and record audio files now,
but when I try to play audio CDs using workman I am unsuccessful. No
sound at all, even though if I use the jack from the CD-ROM I can hear
the music. I can play audio CDs through the soundcard in Windows though.
If I boot first Windows95 and then Linux (using loadlin), I have no
problem, I can hear the music through the soundcard, but not when I boot
directly Linux.

Has anybody encountered this before? Does anyone have any ideas to help
me? If you respond to my message, please CC my e-mail address too.

Thank you very much.

robert

Hi Shem,

Thank you for your message. Unfortunately my sound card is working under
Linux, so I have to look for my problem somewhere else... Maybe I should
try with other drivers (my sound card is not a genuine SoundBlaster), what
do you think?

Hi Robert,

I had a similar problem and I recompile the Linux kernel to get my sound
card working. Try dmesg at root and see if the sound driver is loaded during
bootup. If it is not that may be the problem. Have a look at How-to Sound
manual.

1. Playing audio CD thru /dev/audio



I'm not going to email this because it is probably of general interest.

The current beta version of workman does this (with 2.4 and certain
cd drives). It's not perfect but it mostly works. Sounds good too
(better than plugging the headphones directly into the cdrom audio
jack).

To find this, use archie or something to get any version of workman,
then look at it for its 'home' ftp site.
