Hi,

I recently installed redhat linux and I couldn't play audio CD. I didn't get any error, but the toolbar says audio is playing with volume 40% and I couldn't hear any sound. I verified my soundcard and it works perfectly with the test sound.

Let me know if I need to configure anythings.

Thanks and regards,
kumaresh

I can think of 3 things that might be wrong.

1. Check and make sure there is audio cable from your CDROM-drive to your soundcard
2. Check and make sure that CD volume is not muted
3. Check and make sure that CD volume is not low

Hi Flemming,

I am able to play audio CDs perfectly in windows, so I was thinking of any missing configuration for linux.

Thanks,
Kumaresh

Have you checked 2 and 3?
My Linuxbox's CD volume was original muted and set to a volume of ~20%.

It would be more helpful if you tell us details like your Red hat version, player used, file format you are trying to play, sound card(shouldn't be so important..).

Few things here... even though you are able to play audio CDs under Windows you might still want to check for an audio cable from the CD drive to the soundcard. Basically, most Windows audio CD players don't use the audio cable because while the audio cable allows you to play audio CDs with less CPU overhead (a good thing), it does not allow you to 'rip' audio from the CD to a hard disk, which is a feature most Windows CD players want. In order to rip from a CD it needs to go over the IDE data ribbon cable, so most Windows CD Players just do everything over the data cable. On the other hand, some (many? most?) Linux CD players go with the philosophy of one purpose for one application, so the CD player doesn't worry about ripping, and thus uses the CD audio cable. Note that if you don't have a CD audio cable from the CD drive to your soundcard, most Linux audio CD players have options to use the IDE data cable - check the documentation for which ever CD player you were using (look for analog [uses CD audio cable] or digital [uses IDE data ribbon]).

Also, to really give a helpful answer we'd need some more info.
1. What program(s) were you using to try to play the audio CD?
2. Are you using ALSA or OSS drivers for your soundcard?
3. When you say "with volume 40%", were was the volume showing 40%? In the CD player program, or some other mixer? Was it the CD level volume, or the Master volume? Was the mixer using ALSA or OSS?

If you're not sure about whether you are using ALSA or OSS, it most likely depends on which kernel version you use. 2.4.x used OSS (unless it was patched to use ALSA), 2.6.x can use ALSA or OSS, most likely uses ALSA.

Good luck,
