Peep Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 I haven't used analog cables in my PCs for years, just because they didn't seem necessary anymore... until now. I saw links on web pages talking about various programs to help with this (paranoia, and a few plugins for XMMS) but all the links seemed to be dead. Does anyone know a good way to get CD audio playback without using the analog cable between the CD-Rom and sound card? My problem is solved (I dug an analog cable out of my closet), but would like to know for future reference. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Here it is.. the link to how-to use digital cd audio using xmms. http://icculus.org/%7Edolson/mdkxp/?c=ttrls/digitalcdx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peep Posted May 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 that's one of the plugins i had been looking for but couldn't find. the link was dead on the post above, but i easily found it on www.rpmfind.net (not sure why i didn't think to look there before). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Hmmmm...I haven't hooked up the analog audio on my CDroms and never had a problem with playing audio CDs in any app. Am I just lucky (or unlucky)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote for lucky :) Anyway, what kind of apps have you tried? I think kscd and plain xmms without digital cd plugin doesn't work for non-audio-cable cdroms.
