Yes, that explains what happens on my notebook and corresponds to what the Handbook says: If all goes well, you should now have a functioning sound card. If your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive's audio-out pins are properly connected to your sound card, you can put a CD in the drive and play it with cdcontrol(1): % cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play 1 Indeed, both the 'mixer' command and the (much more comfortable) 'rexima' port show only 5 mixer devices: Mixer vol is currently set to 12:12 Mixer pcm is currently set to 30:30 Mixer speaker is currently set to 8:8 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 There is no 'cd' mixer device, and the only mixer device file on this notebook is '/dev/mixer0'. But this does not explain why mplayer, in contrast with vlc, refuses to play the CD, does it ? What is the meaning and reason of the above FAILURE lines ? 2 identical lines with the GENERIC kernel, 1 single line, if I add 'device atapicam'. That is apparently the only difference between the two cases. Thank you again and in advance for any further help. Harald -- FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Aug 7 13:00:47 CEST 2008
