My personal suggestion : ditch kscd. My cd player/sound system works fine, and kscd just thrashes doing the exact same thing you did ( I removed my audio cable to ensure proper digital extraction... it just didn't play ball ). if you have mplayer, try this: mplayer cdda:// -cdrom-device /dev/hdWHATEVER or mplayer cddb:// -cdrom-device /dev/hdWHATEVER if you dont have that, and have/want to use xine instead, make sure setup/media->audio_cd.device is set and you should be away laughing as soon as you hit that big 'cd button' on the UI or playlist ( i had a bit of delay... not sure why, but it worked ) Amarok should also be able to play CD's digitally via Xine ( tested here to work ) -- Kent ruby -e '[1, 2, 4, 7, 0, 9, 5, 8, 3, 10, 11, 6, 12, 13].each{|x| print "enNOSPicAMreil kdrtf@gma.com"[(2*x)..(2*x+1)]}' -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
