I don't think you need that silly cable. My understanding was that the audio cable connected to you sound card was for when you wanted to listen to the cd and your computer was in "low-power mode" Either way, I have stopped installing that cable on new computers that I build and it has always worked fine for me. To the original poster: Are you sure you are in the "cdrom" group? Are you sure you have a /dev/cdrom node? Any different outcome if you do mplayer /dev/hdc? - -- Jeremy Olexa ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Office: EE/CS 1-201 CS/IT Systems Staff University of Minnesota -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEX1fpFN7pD9kMi/URAm09AJ9VCTBVUq1JnEYBwvAUesuyNJJ+8wCfV5U2 18BfVsPxYDIoLkeDBGkOU7A= =GgtJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
