Volume problem with xmcd 1.3 / PAS16 SCSI / NEC CDR-500 (3x) cdrom

Volume problem with xmcd 1.3 / PAS16 SCSI / NEC CDR-500 (3x) cdrom

Post by Paul Smi » Sun, 22 Jan 1995 14:01:16



I'm running Linux kernel 1.0.9 (Slackware 2.0) with sound driver 2.90-2.

I've got a PAS16 with SCSI-2 port, and an NEC CDR-500 (3x) internal
cdrom attached to it.  I've got an internal sound cable connecting the
cdrom to the PAS16 so I can get audio through the sound card as well as
through the cdrom audio jack.

It seems to work great in general, but I have a minor problem when I use
xmcd 1.3 to listen to audio CD's.

They play OK, and I've got xmcd configured correctly, but if I listen to
the CD through the sound card jack the volume is very low even at 100%
volume.  Obviously in this mode the volume knob on the NEC is not used.

If I listen via the NEC audio jack I can of course adjust the volume to
what I want.

I presume that there's some volume setting for the PAS16 card I need to
modify, but I have no idea how to go about that...

Any ideas?  Thanks,

Yep I have it up and running on my Pentium/66 with NCR53c810 card
works great.
try:

"mount -rt iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom"

where sr number is the number of your CD-ROM drive 0 is normal.
also where /cdrom is the mount point.

I had trouble with this the first time, you MUST state read-only that's
what the -r is for.
