Hi,

I have been trying for a couple of weeks without any success to get audio CDs
to play through my sound card.  I have checked everything I can possibly think
of, I know for a fact that the sound card is functioning properly, but still no
luck.  I would really like to not have to boot down to Win98 every time I want
to listen to a CD.

Here's what I know for sure:

1.  Yes, there is a cable connecting the CD-Rom drive to the sound card.  I
installed it myself, and I am able to play audio CD's in Win98.

2.  I have configured my environment variable correctly for xcd.  I am able to
play audio CD's and listen to them through the built-in headphone jack, but I
can't get the sound to come out of my sound card.

3.  I have the mixer device configured properly.  Here's the output:

Mixer vol	is currently set to	90:90
Mixer bass	is currently set to	75:75
Mixer treble	is currently set to	75:75
Mixer synth	is currently set to	75:75
Mixer pcm	is currently set to	74:74
Mixer speaker	is currently set to	75:75
Mixer line	is currently set to	75:75
Mixer mic	is currently set to	16:16
Mixer cd	is currently set to	75:75
Mixer igain	is currently set to	75:75
Mixer ogain	is currently set to	75:75	

4.  I am pretty certain that I have compiled my soundcard (sounblaster 16
compatible) into the kernel correctly.  It plays .wav and .au files, and I have
no problem getting sound effects out of Doom.

5.  Oddly, though, I can't get music out of Doom (dunno if this is related to
my audio CD problem) and I also can't play MP3's.  This is the error I get when
trying to play MP3's using x11amp:

Incompatible OSS Driversoss sysinfo=537358976: 0
Warning: Unable to set fragment size!!
Unable to get fragment size

6.  My sound card is a "sound blaster compatible" card that has the following
settings:

IO: 0220-022F
IRQ: 05
DMA: 01
DMA: 05

Here is what I have included in my kernel:

controller snd0
device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0 at isa? drq5
device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330

If anyone can help with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

M.
