squawked:
- alsamixer CD unmuted and volume set to 77
- I am a member of audio and cdrom groups
- the "cdplay" program sees the number of tracks and and their
lengths on the cdrom. "cdplay -c -v" goes through the motions of
playing the cdrom. The cdrom spins, and cdplay lists each
track as
it's played... but there is no sound.
- /dev/cdrom is correctly symlinked to /dev/hda
- I've tried both the xmms-cdaudio and xmms-cdread plugins.
xmms-cdaudio has a "Check CD drive" option. When I click it, the
cdrom spins, and I get a list of tracks which matches the
output I
get from "cdplay --listtracks".
This might be an overkill, but have you tried mplayer? If you already
have it installed, I think mplayer cdda://{tracknumber} would work,
and if I remember correctly, mplayer would read the digital audio,
rather than use the DAC in the CDROM.
maybe i missed part of the thread, but does it have to be graphical?
There are quite a few curses or command-line cd/mp3 players...
