There are tools like cdparanoia that can "digitally play" from the CD drive, and you can also use mplayer to play CD audio the digital way. > I also can't get output from mplayer. I'll try VLC next. If you don't have sound in mplayer, it likely won't happen that you get sound from VLC (or any other media player for that matter). > Also, no devices should up under KDE5 system settings Phonon page. Is it > possible I didn't check all the phonon boxes when I built KDE5 from ports? I think Phonon is a default component of the KDE installation. But for now, don't bother with KDE. Always check the basics first, using the system tools. For example, using good old "mpg123 somefile.mp3" and then experiment with the mixer command. It _might_ be possible that you have to select a different output device using sysctl. Example: I have a Lenovo R61i and a R500. On the R61i, I can use the default unit (0), while I have to enable the setting "hw.snd.default_unit=1" in /etc/sysctl.conf on the R500, even though they seem to be using almost the same HDA codec: R61i: pcm0: pcm1: R500: pcm0: pcm1: With sysctl as mentioned, the second one will work. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
