Everything else was working fine, I could hear sound (when not coming from cd), set the volume with aumix, even listen while cdda2wav read my audio-cd (option -e). So I reckoned it could still be the cable.
I wanted to test it without cable in Win98: This has the same effect: you can see the tracks, it plays at your command, but no sound without cable. Then I saw there were 3 sockets on the sound-card, cable was in the middle one. Windows doesn't mind, but Linux uses only one of them. > > Elimar Riesebieter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> suggested: > > Make sure you're member of groups audio and cdrom. > > Stephen Gran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote > > It sounds like your mixer settings are too low, if everything is really > > quiet.
