You're sure it's a normal audio CD? How actually is one supposed to mount audio CDs?

Does the CD drive maybe have an earphone connector so you can test if anything is output? I know most modern drives don't come with this connector anymore. > The CD does not have any direct to mobo audio wire, only the ATA cable. > I'm assuming fbsd gets the audio down the ata cable, correct? As far as I remember... NO. I've been using FreeBSD with working CD audio in the past, but I always had the wire installed (in many different constellations, such as with using SCSI drives, using an individual sound card, or having multiple line-ins on the main board). _This_ method did always work. Just to make sure, check your mixer settings. Yes I know, it's stupid to emphasize it, but _I_ have been fallen into that trap already. :-) Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 50:50 Mixer cd is currently set to 0:0 In _such_ a situation, missing sound is nothing special. > Thanks for any helpful hints, I'm totally confused. The FreeBSD ATAPI subsystem has been done many changes to in the recent years. Maybe CD-Audio functionality has been lost during that way? It's not the first time it's being discussed on list... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
