3. No sound. I've played plenty with gnome-volume-control, but no sound. I don't even get anything from the headphone jack on the front panel.
Are you playing the CD with Analog output, or Digital Audio Extraction output? If you are using the former, you might not have an Analog audio cable between your CD drive and the sound card. This is becoming common on newer machines (one less cable == cheaper). Try telling the CD player app to use the Digital method instead.
Where do I find this (the setting to use digital rather than analog)? I gave a quick look at the user controls & did not find it. I inspected the hardware, and you're right -- no audio cable. Maybe the solution is to just get that cable. (?)
Finally, make sure the channels are unmuted and turned up. It may be as simple as finding the CD slider in the volume control and turning it up (for Analog).
I had already tried this with no results. Thanks, Bill
