New m-audio audiophile 24/96--won't play cd's [solved]

Euphoric Nightmare · 2005-09-07 04:28:54

My new soundcard came in the other day, so i put it in and mp3 files played fine, but when i try to use dcd (and xmms) it won't play cd's. First I should guess that i am supposed to plug something from the cdrom to the card...which i didn't do. Is that necessary?

EDIT: I just disabled onboard sound...working great now.

first of all, awesome sound card! heh i've wanted one for a long time.

xmms should have an option for the CD input driver to play them digitally. if you didn't plug in the cable from the drive to the card, you would need this. either way, it sounds a lot better. it's basically like ripping the CD and playing the output instead of saving it.

We'll see...i'm going to open up my case right now...

Euphoric Nightmare · 2005-09-07 20:02:25

Well, I opened up my case...and it had nothing for that. But now I can't use my card at all. Whenever I start up the module, it uses onboard sound again. I guess I will have to reseat it or something.

It using onboard sound sounds like an ALSA setup issue, in which the onboard is being recognized as the first device. There is a way to change that behaviour in some configuration file for ALSA, or you can just disable your onboard sound.

As for the cable for listening to CDs, I recommend just using digital audio extraction because it sounds much better.

Before I messed with it, it was running fine with alsa. But...how do i disable my onboard sound. BIOS maybe?

this digital audio extraction...what is this?

If you use hotplug, add the module in /etc/hotplug/blacklist

and if I don't use hotplug?

Then, I don't know. I think that this problem (how to deal with 2 soundcard) came up in the forums a while ago. Try a forum search. The little I can remember was that you need to put something (alias) in /etc/modprobe.conf. It could be another config file, though.

I don't know, it still seems like it is a hardware problem. It seems like its more than a coincidence that it was working fine until i took it out, and then put it back in.

I did a search, but didn't find much...I will try disabling onboard sound in bios, we'll see if that will work.

How do I get DAE working in XMMS?
