Do you have the option of testing mixer settings and CD playing commands _outside_ of the GUI, i. e. in normal text mode - just to make sure no DBUS, HAL or whatever part of the desktop environment might interfere? Things to check: - Which mixers do exist? Which settings are active? - Which CD device can be accessed by cdcontrol? Does it start playing properly? On today's disc drives, you typically don't have a 3.5mm headphone connector for direct listening. Also some sound cards (unlike most onboard sound chips) have the ability to connect the "CD audio" wire inside the machine. This feature is obsolete, but still works. It's typically not part of laptop designs. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
