mixerctl inputs.cd* control analog connections from the cd drive to the sound card. it's quite common (probably the norm, actually) for laptops to not have this connection. in fact, if it were really connected, the vendor could let azalia(4) know, and it would show up in mixerctl(1) output. although, vendors aren't always that nice about analog CD connections. they are almost always listed as not connected, even when they sometimes are. > as a workaround, you can use 'cdio cdplay'. it's not a workaround. it's probably the most reliable method. 'cdio play' tells the cd drive to play an audio CD and send the analog music on the analog outputs. obviously won't work if the analog outputs aren't connected to the soundcard. 'cdio cdplay' reads the disc and sends digital audio data to the sound card. that should work everywhere. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
