Once I seated the cable well, then I had CD sound.) Without a cable, try XMMS (program name 'xmms') and configure its CD player plugin to play Audio CDs _digitally_. That doesn't need a cable. If that works and the other CD playing software doesn't, it might be that it doesn't support digital playback [yet]. -- Fedora Core release 2.91 (FC3 Test 2) - Linux 2.6.8-1.541 loadavg: 1.42 1.83 2.11
