[wplug] My silent cd player

[John Harrold]

Sometime in October J Aaron Farr assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Hello.
| 
| I had this problem before on another system.  Never did fix it because
| it wasn't really important then.  My cd player doesn't play.  Or I
| should say it does (the little timer increments, but no sound).  XMMS
| plays just fine, but gnome-cd or grip or any other "cd player" remains
| silent.  The cd-player works fine in WinXP, so it isn't a hardware
| issue.  I think it's all about what I have set as my sound device. 
| Unfortunately, the linux sound system is still fairly alien to me, so I
| don't even know where to start.  What I do know is that I'm using ALSA
| drivers, and my guess is that the cd-players are set to use esd (or
| whatever other alternative sound system is out there).  I've tried
| looking up some info on ALSA and gnome-cd, but haven't found anything
| that really helps.  So, any ideas?
| 
| Thanks!

humm... to me it sounds like the cd audio channel is either turned all the
way down or it has been muted. have you checked your mixer (kmix for
example) and made sure the channel is enabled (the green dot under the
disk)? sorry if this seems too basic.
