By "normal" I mean it plays fine in a regular sound system, and on a windoze box via media player with the same CD player and the direct audio wire not hooked up.

I'm using the earphones, and they work with mp3 files from disk.
Who said anything about "modern"?
I thought all CDs came from old junk machines. :-)
Novel idea. This cd has one, and I get audio from it.
So cdcontrol seems to be controlling operation just fine,
there's just no audio getting into the guts of the os.

Ugh.
Mobo:
ASUS M4A89TD Pro/USB3
doesn't even have a place to plug in the separate digital audio input cable.
At least not that I can identify.
Is anyone using this mobo with a CD for audio input?

How about missing cd?????
Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100
Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75
Mixer line is currently set to 75:75
Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0
Mixer mix is currently set to 0:0
Mixer rec is currently set to 75:75
Mixer igain is currently set to 100:100
Mixer ogain is currently set to 50:50
Recording source: mic
I don't see any "cd". Where does that come from? There is a /dev/cd0:
ls -l /dev/cd0
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 115 May 30 09:29 /dev/cd0
If I try to add "cd" to the list of devices, it claims it's not valid:
#mixer +rec cd
mixer: unknown recording device: cd
usage: mixer [-f device] [-s | -S] [dev [+|-][voll[:[+|-]volr]] ...
mixer [-f device] [-s | -S] recsrc ...
mixer [-f device] [-s | -S] {^|+|-|=}rec rdev ...
devices: vol, pcm, line, mic, mix, rec, igain, ogain
rec devices: line, mic, mix
What is the source for the "mix" device?
I tried upping it to 50% but still no sound.
"man snd" shows a boatload of possible bridge drivers, but kldstat only shows a few loaded:
%kldstat -v | grep "sound\|snd\|pcm"
252 uaudio/ua_pcm
250 sound
249 pci/snd_hda
248 hdac/snd_hda_pcm
247 pci/snd_via8233
246 pci/snd_ich
245 pci/snd_es137x
This mobo has an ALC892 codec.
dmesg shows:
hdac0: <ATI (Unknown) High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xfe9bc000-0xfe9bffff irq 25 at device 0.1 on pci5
hdac1: <ATI SB600 High Definition Audio Controller> mem 0xfe6f8000-0xfe6fbfff irq 16 at device 20.2 on pci0
I also see the following at the end of dmesg:
(cd0:ata2:0:0:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 40 0

Those last four are repeated four five times total, and then:

(cd0:ata2:0:0:0): CAM status: SCSI Status Error
(cd0:ata2:0:0:0): SCSI status: Check Condition
(cd0:ata2:0:0:0): SCSI sense: ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:2c,0 (Command sequence error)
repeated a number of times. It's not clear to me when they showed up, as pausing, resuming, ejecting, loading, and playing a cd using cdcontrol doesn't seem to be adding any entries.
I tried doing
kldload snd_atiixp
but it didn't seem to make a difference.
I also don't have a clue whether or not that is an appropriate bridge driver.
But maybe one needs to do something more to get it to actually try to use that bridge driver?

hopefully someone can shed some light with the above additional details...
