I purchased an eMachine to run Linux on. It came with (sorry) XP which I
used to check out the hardware. It plays music CD's fine but uses digital
data over the IDE buss rather than a cable from the CD drive to the sound
input.
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
Loaded <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/">Red Hat</A> 7.3 and it plays sounds fine but it won't play music
CD's...the player just runs and the CD spins along.
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
How do I configure the CD/sound system to pick up the digital sound data on
the IDE buss to play the music?
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
Thank You,
Bill Parks

Linux does have a program that can play a CD by reading the digital data over
the IDE bus, it's cdda2wav, included with most Linux distributions.
</blockQuote>
<blockQuote><CODE>
cdda2wav -D /dev/cdrom -t 1 -eN
</CODE></blockQuote>
<blockQuote>
will play track 1, if the <A HREF="http://www.kde.org/">KDE</A> sound system isn't keeping <TT>/dev/dsp</TT> busy. The
-eN options cause cdda2wav to echo the data to the soundcard and not write
the ridded data to a file.
</blockQuote>
<blockQuote>
You can also try to connect an analog cable between the CD-ROM drive and the
sound cards, as most PC's have.

There is a plugin for XMMS that does this. It can be downloaded at

The version numbers are a little confusing. The latest version is:
</blockQuote>
<blockQuote><BLOCKQuote>
xmms-cdread-0.14a.tar.gz
</BLOCKQuote></blockQuote>
<blockQuote>
The one labeled 0.9a is not it. XMMS comes with a cd player plugin that is
supposed to do this but it didn't work for me. To play a cd, start XMMS and
open your <TT>/dev/cdrom</TT> device or whichever device the cdrom drive actually is.
I'm currently playing a cd from a drive without it's audio cable so I suppose
that means it works
<IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/smily.gif" ALT=";-)"
height="24" width="20" align="middle">. Come to think of it, if you add an audio cable from
your cd to your sound card then the player you attempted to use will work as
well. The audio from this plugin will be cleaner as it passes through one
less analog stage.
</blockQuote>
<blockQuote>
Another nice thing about this plugin is it will pull title data from Freedb
and let you play individual tracks by name. The stock plugin won't do this.
</blockQuote>
<blockQuote>
Oh yeah! Be sure to disable the stock plugin before attempting to use this
one. Right click on XMMS and choose Preferences.

Hello, You will need to enable the "Enable Digital Sound" from one of
the configuration options of KDE and/or Gnome. There is an option like
that somewhere but I can't remember but I am sure its in X and not the
console. Also, you could type audio:/ at the KDE browser to view your
CD-Player contents and open a multimedia player like XMMS and drag the
files in the browser to the playlist of XMMS and play that way. It
should work.

Hello. I have an IDE CD-ROM drive and an IDE CD-RW
drive. The CD-ROM has audio cables attatched to the
Sound Card while the CD-RW does not. The CD-RW would
not play compact discs until I configured it for
writing (enable SCSI-Emulation). I'm not an expert. I
don't know if this is supposed to be the case. It
could just be a fluke, but it worked for me.
