I second this and think that the DMA is a red herring. So first things first: run alsamixer in a terminal as a plain user and make sure CD is not showing "MM" and is set at a high enough setting. Then to see what's up with dma: look at lshw to find its "logical name:". Then use the logical name to run: # hdparm -I /dev/hdc # hdparm /dev/hdc (on my machine /dev/hdc is my DVD drive's logical name) HTH. -- Regards, Mick
