Evening all,
I've just joined the list and I seem to remember the welcome message thingy asking me to give a little introduction to myself, so...
OK, I've been using linux for about 4 months now, slowly moving across from Gates evil OS. Just need to experiment with CD ripping/burning (which I haven't had time to play with yet) and DVD movies (can get ogle working but it's a bit jerky. Again, I haven't played much yet) then I'll be free (well apart from games...). I'm a programmer by trade, if you can call COBOL programming ;)
erm...Is that enough of an introduction?? Oh yeah, my name is Ben BTW...
Anyway...
I've been having a bit of trouble getting the sound working nicely under SuSE 8.0. My machine beeps at me, makes whooshing noises when KDE starts up and XMMS works fine. Unfortunately, I can't get any sound to word when playing CDs. gtcd will recognise a CD and bring up the artist/title info but pressing play doesn't do anything. KsCD works a bit better. 'play' works, the disc spins, the counter starts erm... counting but no sound. Basically, the sound is being piped through the 5mm socket on the front of the drive rather than through the soundcard.
Don't suppose anyone knows how to fix this please? (a friend says he knows what to do for windows, but that's no help is it...)
cheers,
Ben
