[gentoo-user] Still can't play audio CD's

Hi guys,

I know I'm like a bear with a thorn in it's paw, but this is driving me
nuts.  I've tried the suggestions provided in response to my posts on
this list, but I still can't play audio CD's.  I posted to the alsa-user
list and got a response.  I'm posting some of that here because although
the responder has the exact same computer as I do, he uses Suse and I'm
wondering if I've missed something or done something wrong when I
compiled genkernel and thought maybe someone on the list might have an
idea as to why there are discprepancies between what I'm getting and
what the guy who responded to my alsa-user post got.

This is my output

This is his output:

Interesting. I do get:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: STAC92xx Digital [STAC92xx Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

This is from my laptop:

This is his output from his Dell XPS M1710 laptop:

I usually use alsamixer from the console, but invoking Kmix it shows:
Output:
  Master, PCM, Capture Mux, Digital
Input:
  Capture, Capture Mux, Digital
Switch
  IEC958 and a dropdrow listbox 'Input Source' with Mic, Front Mic, Line

I've tried editing /etc/modules.d/alsa the way it has been suggested in
response to my posts here, but I still can get audio CD's to play.
Obviously, the drive works or I wouldn't have been able to get Gentoo
installed and an audio track ripped just fine from a CD and plays
normally when I play it from my hard drive.

Someone here also pointed me toward an alsa bug list and said to pay
particular attention to comments by someone who goes by 'pshou', but I
don't really understand what he was saying.

If anyone can provide me with direction, I would sure appreciate it.

Regards,

Colleen
