Hi,<br>I posted a similar e-mail a couple of weeks ago and got no response. I wish not to spam the mailing list, only for maybe a better luck this time.<br>My CD ROM drive had stopped playing audio CD&#39;s. It still works fine, data CD&#39;s work alright and various programs manage to gather useful information about the audio CD&#39;s tracks, but I hear nothing. I checked all controls in alsamixer to be unmuted and at reasonable volume, but it&#39;s not it. I can&#39;t rip the CD&#39;s neither. Any ideas what might be wrong?<br>

</blockquote></div><br>This may not help, but I haven&#39;t used the analog or digital cable from the cdrom to the soundcard to play audio cds in over 5 years; every software player I&#39;ve ever used just read the audio data directly from the cdrom.<br clear="all">
