If there is no entry for CD in the mixer, but for PCM, it seems to indicate why playback from disk works, but even (assumed) playback from CD cannot be heared. % mixer -f /dev/mixer0 Mixer vol is currently set to 5:5 Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 <=== THIS ONE Mixer rec is currently set to 75:75 Mixer igain is currently set to 0:0 Mixer monitor is currently set to 75:75 Recording source: mic This is from a HDA audio with 3 pcm devices and 3 mixer devices. > Before CAM it was the same, if > I recall correctly, however then > I used something like cdparanoia > or cdrtools to play cds. If I remember correctly, cdrtools is the port that brings cdrecord. There are text mode and X CD player programs (such as XMMS with CD audio plugin, or the simple xcd) which you could try. > So I'm afraid, that cdcontrol is not > best diagnostic tool. It's a simple and _predictable_ tool which you can use to make the CD drive start playing. Everything _next_ in the signal chain (i. e. the mixer) is handled by other tools. So if you assume that "cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play" makes the CD play, then use the "mixer" command to check all the possible audio settings to find the next thin in the signal chain that could be wrong. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
