Peppercorn Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 This not a great problem but one that irks me a bit and I'm sure that someone out there knows a way around it! I cannot play CD's digitally as in M$oft. I hav'nt hooked up a CD to a soundcard for years because of that feature but I cannot find a way to do it in Mandrake 9.2. Does anyone know how to make it happen?? Thanks for your brains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 There is a way to play cd digitally via xmms. This is the link to the tutorial http://mandrakeusers.com/DOlson/tutorials/...digitalcdx.html The steps should be similar even though when the tutorial is written, he is using older version of mandrake. You may need to search for the rpm for your version of mandrake yourself, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 I'm curious, why don't you just plug in the cable? Every CD rom comes with one and every computer comes with one and frequently soundcards will come with them. If push realy comes to shove they only cost about $1.00 Frankly, when windows stopped using that litle cable to play directly, I was dissapointed. I liked the old CD player applette in Win95 WAY better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked into this the other day and my result was to install xmms 1.2.8 which has a new option to ¨digital extract audio¨ under the cd audio player config tab. I don´t have the cd audio cable connected either. I am using mandrake 9.1 but xmms 1.2.8 must be available for 9.2 somewhere. m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
