With cdcontrol on a cd-rw drive I have, it needs the cd audio cable hooked up from the drive to the motherboard or else it's silent. My dvd-rw drive doesn't have that port but I haven't tested audio cd's in it. It's possible the "does play audio cd's" is about reading the format rather than playing, and I believe cdcontrol tells the drive to play instead of the OS playing it. You could try another media player to see if it'll play the disc or if you can rip the tracks off. > > So you should plug headphones into the front? If there's a headphone jack on the front of the *drive*, then yes, that will probably work. What was intended, though, was probably to suggest that instead of cdcontrol(1), you install and try a cd playing program that supports "digital extraction". Most programs in ports/audio that can play CDs at all will be able to handle this.
