On my system, (Debian 1.3) there's no /dev/cdrom. Perhaps it should be a sym-link to the "real" device, probably /dev/hd[a-d], for IDE CDROMs. 2. The standard way of playing CD's involves a wire running from the CDROM's "analog audio output" connector, to the appropriate connector on the sound card. It is not uncommon for computer-technicians to forget that bit. 3. Most CDROMs have a play button (usually marked >). If you have that button, simply insert an audio CD and press it. If there's still no sound, then it's probably a hardware problem (CDROM, sound-card, speakers, or any connections, including the aforesaid wire). I hope this helps... -Itai -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
