Dustpuppy Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I've got one of those daft cd drives with no physical audio cable. Xine in 10.1 seemed to cope with this fine, but now in 2006 it will either say there is no plugin present to handle this device, or else play the first 2 seconds of the cd and then throw up the plugin error. Xmms (with appropriate digital plugin enabled) reads the cd track info, then when I press play says there's no cd in the drive :unsure: Not really sure what's going on here - any ideas?

Guest akiss007 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 my issue is similar: if I try to play a file with xine it starts up, but after few seconds it freezes and all I hear is a buzzing noise. Same with mplayer too. The same file plays just fine with xmms, though. Xine used to work under Mandriva 10.1 and 2005LE with no problem. I'm using an older ThinkPad 600x laptop with CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] soundcard. Driver Module: snd-cs46xx Unfortunately I don't get any error messages. I've attached the verbose output for xine. Any help is appreciated. xine_output.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjtomli Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Same exact problem here.. find a single layer DVD and see if that plays. I seem only to have issues with dual layer DVDs in xine and mplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akiss007 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 finally I figured out the solution. I'm using a Thinkpad 600X, that had a feature that places the sound device in standby mode and Mandriva/xine is not able to wake it up. When I've disabled the ACPI in the boot setup (mcc -> Boot -> Setup how the system boots -> Uncheck "Enable ACPI"), that fixed the problem. Fortunately the Thinkpad has it's own power management running that turns the fan on and off, so my laptop won't overheat. The only disadvantage, that I have noticed, that the laptop doesn't power down - I have to manually turn it off after the shutdown sequence is completed.

scarecrow Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 @ gandd: He probably missed your reply back in 2005 which had solved his problem. I'm also impressed on how he could possibly miss such a clear-cut reply... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
