Nazgulled Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hi, With the default applications that come wint mandrake I can't play audio cds... the file starts playing, the progress bar is moving but no sound is outputed (yes the sound works cuz I can hear the system sounds and I can listen to mp3). Now, I've installed XMMS and it's working fine, I just can't figure it out how to use it to play audio cds, I tried to check the official webpage for that and it was on the faq but I still can't understand what I have to do, I would appreciate any help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 have you got the CD player muted in your sound settings? are you using ALSA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 have you got the CD player muted in your sound settings? you can check this with kmix if you're using KDE (which I think you are if I remember correctly). also aumix should work too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgulled Posted May 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 I don't think nothing is muted... but I'll check it once agian when I'm back on linux... but, what about xmms? can't I play audio cds there, how can I do it? what plugin should I install?

mystified Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 yes you can play audio cds but the first time you use xmms you have to tell them where it's located. There's a dropdown menu on the left side. I believe it's play files and then you navigate to /mnt/cdrom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durvish Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Actually I think it's play location then /mnt/cdrom or /dev/cdrom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgulled Posted May 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 that's the problem... I can't really find the /mtn/cdrom or /dev/cdrom but i'll take a deeper look to into ehwn I boot into linux again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgulled Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 can't find anything on xmms to play an audio cd... I think i'm missing some input plugin... but I don't know wich... if anyone could help... as for the mute, nothing was muted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Don't forget that you will probably have to go to xmms preferences (options>pref) and make sure for audio i/o output plug-in you have alsa picked, the default is oss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 (edited) You probably need xmms-alsa [root@localhost root]# rpm -qa | grep xmmslibxmms1-1.2.10-1mdk xmms-more-vis-plugins-1.7.0-6mdk xmms-crossfade-0.3.4-1mdk xmms-more-vis-plugins-unsafe-1.7.0-6mdk xmms-arts-0.7.1-2mdk xmms-alsa-1.2.10-1mdk xmms-Zon-0.04.1_beta2-8mdk xmms-status-plugin-1.0-3mdk xmms-nautilus-0.2-1mdk xmms-oggre-0.3-1mdk AudioCompress-xmms-1.5-2mdk gxmms-0.1.0-2mdk xmms-normalize-0.8.1-6mdk flac-xmms-1.1.0-5mdk xmms-1.2.10-1mdk faad2-xmms-2.0-2plf xmms-crystality-0.92-5mdk [root@localhost root]# analog has never worked for me in xmms, so try digital.

william Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Basically, you will have to disable cd audio player plugin and install audio cd reader, you can add an url pointing to your /mnt /cdrom. Follow the steps at Dolson's tutorial. Here I installed the xmms-alsa plugin to have sound working properly (I have an external /usb sound card). Good luck.

bvc Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 the default has always worked for me whether alsa or oss/2.4 or 2.6 kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgulled Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I've downloaded xmms-cdread from the xmms website and installed but not working... I ahve xmms isntalled in /home/nazgulled/Programs/xmms so I installed it like this: ./configure --prefix=/home/nazgulled/Programs/xmms make make install it worked, the files are in the input plugin folder (/home/nazgulled/Programs/xmms/libs/xmms/input) but the plugin does not appear in the Audio I/O Plugins tab in Options » Preferences... what do I have to do ?

bvc Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 (edited) first, why a tarball? xmms-cdread is just a small lib and you're on an rpm-based distro. Also, /home/nazgulled/Programs/xmms/libs/xmms/input is not a dir that ldconfig is going look in for libs. You'd have to put it in /etc/ld.so.conf>run ldconfig>and restart xmms. Did you see the image above? Xmms comes with a cdread. IF it doesn't work after being pointed to the correct cdrom dir and both digital and analog is tried you could then install and rpm quite painlessly and try it. I'd uninstall with make uninstall. Tarballs do not register with rpm. Or uninstall it and reinstall with ./configure --prefix=/usr Edited May 11, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgulled Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 my xmms didn't come with the cdread... where can I download the *full thing*? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
