Greetings: I have a laptop (Toshiba Satellite 305CDS) running 2.2.5. I also have 2.2.5 running on my PC. The modem that came with the laptop (Xircom CreditCard 56T) is not supported and I have given up on working around it with an external. Thus I am unable at this time to avail myself of the ports collection. cdplayer is not on the 2.2.5 CD, but I have it on the PC, I must haved downloaded the port, I don't remember. cdplayer works fine on the the PC. What I did was take the cdplayer executable from the PC, put it on a floppy and copied onto the laptop. The cdplayer program runs, it reads from the CD shows the tracks and volume, it stops, plays and pauses and even ejects the CD tray. However no sound comes out of either the little laptop speakers or the headphones when they are plugged in. I am hoping that this can be fixed by doing a MAKEDEV on some device in /dev like speaker or audiopcmcia or if necessary re-compiling the kernel. I don't really know where to look for next. (I tried rplayer from the packages collection on the CD but couldn't even get that to work at all, does it even play CDs?) Any suggestions?
