Don’t you just love geeks?

Casually searching my name on Google, like any other normal person would do, I bumped into a post of mine at a Mandrake Linux support forum from almost exactly seven years ago. Couldn’t help smiling.

Linux has come a long way; back then it was nowhere near as user-friendly as it is now.

sound from cdrom ML91

Hello there.

I’m using ML91. I just tried to listen to a cd. KsCD starts up, sound is at 50%, sound mixer is at 100% for CD, the track seems to be played (counter works) but no sound comes out.

The audio cable is connected from the Creative PC-DVD drive to CD-In of Audigy2, but …

Otherwise, sound works fine.

Any ideas/hints?

Thanks,

Stratos
