 Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2007 11:41 pm Post subject: Audio CD reading errors, how to fix? |
 |
|
I'm trying to get a CD to play correctly in fluxbox. When I was using gnome, I'd just use gnome's simple cd player and everything would work fine.
Now it doesn't recognize any discs. (maybe this is due to hald not really doing its job in fluxbox? hald is in runlevel default)
I've tried banshee, but all of the audio tracks appear out of order, and some do not even play. Grip recognizes the cd, but there is no audio output when trying to play tracks.
This is similar to a problem I had before in gnome using cdparanoia - when trying to rip cd's it would always rip the tracks out of order, with mixed up names. I'm wondering if this could be related.
I've tried both of my optical drives. My motherboard has the nforce4 chipset (ugh..). - I don't remember paying any special attention to non-sata drives when I did my kernel configuration (I use '--menu-config all', add nvidia SATA support and various FS supports, but that's it)
My fstab looks like this:
| Code: | /dev/sdb1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sdb3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sdb2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /mnt/cdrom auto users,gid=users 0 0
/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom1 auto users,gid=users 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto users,gid=users 0 0
/dev/sda1 /windows/xp ntfs users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /windows/vista ntfs users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
/dev/hda is a DVDRW drive, and /dev/hdb is a DVD-ROM drive. My fstab may be incorrect...I've never found any good documentation for it to make sure it is the way it should be. |

Have you considered switching over to the Nvidia PATA drivers?

I was under the impression that those conflicted with Nvidia's SATA drivers (which are absolutely necessary, or my hdd's can't be read). Is this wrong? Do they conflict with generic PATA instead? |

I don't know about any conflicts. I don't have an NVidia chipset. I just suggested it because sometimes using the new PATA stuff can clear up optical-drive issues, especially when you can then set the controller to native (sometimes called "enhanced") mode in the BIOS.

| I found a AMD/NVIDIA PATA option in the kernel config...I'm re-compiling to see if it works... |

I've managed to get audacious to recognize that a CD is there (using an analog cable) - but there is no sound when tracks are played.
Yet another edit: CD's won't play in gnome either.
Is it a good possibility that they won't play due to the fact that I'm using an unofficial beta alsa driver (for the CMEDIA 8788 audio chipset, only way to get it to work) that isn't built into the kernel? |
