no sound from audio cd
I cant get sound from audio cd using XMMS. If I enable the cdaudio input plugin I can see the tracks listed in the "load file" window when I select play-file,but no sound. When cdaudio is deselected and cdread is enabled and I select play-file, no tracks from cd are shown in the "load file" window to play. I have configured cdread > output tab for read digital cd audio. I seems like it should not matter if both cdaudio and cdread are enabled if the read digital cdaudio is checked. The option tab has dev: /dev/cdrom and dir: /cdrom which all work good for cdaudio plugin.I can play wav file on disk. using esd or oss. I can play cd audio when I boot macos9 so the hardware should be confirmed good.I have powerbook g3 pismo and use deb 3.0. I have tried kernels with dmasound-pmac as module and in kernel. When that didnt work I installed ydl 2.3 on a separate partition incase the libcdread.so on debian was bad with the same results. From my reading I figure that the cd drive passes audio digitally to a pci bus which is passed to cdread (input) module which passes audio to selected oss or esd (output) module ..Maybe I cannot see the tracks in the file load window because of the pci bus.?? I don't know how to check that. I cant think of anything to try different. It is my impression that audio from a cd will play. I have spent hours (actually days) working on this and dont know what next to try. If anyone having a powerbook g3 pismo has cd audio working, please respond.thanksAdd photos to your e-mail with MSN 8. Get 2 months FREE*.

What I had been missing was scsi emulation in my kernel. No where had I read that cd audio would not work (on pismo) without scsi emulation. I will repeat. CDAUDIO WILL NOT WORK WITH IDE DRIVE (IDE-CD). IT WILL ONLY WORK WITH SCSI EMULATION (IDE-SCSI) KERNEL. At this writing the only player that will work ( use the digital output of the cd-dvd drive) is XMMS. XMMS has a plugin called xmms-cdread. Enabling xmms-cdread and configuring>output tab for "read digital output" and config>option tab for cd device path for scsi drive (example:/dev/sr0) is essential for cd audio. A fstab type mount path for device and directory is not nessary since xmms displays tracks in its play list. The sound output (of sound card) is a different issue. If one can play a wav file on ones hard drive with xmms then the output sound is configured correctly. mikeHelp STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE*
patching kernel question
I have a g3pb with deb 3.0. I downloaded kernel 2.4.20. Configured a pmac kernel. I downloaded patch 2.4.21. When patch p0 < patch-2.4.21 is finished my make file says it is 2.4.20.

re:kernel patch problem
I figured out the answer to why I couldnt apply the patch to my kernel-- I had been trying to patch the file in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 that I had made several ppc kernels from. What I did that worked was to backup the dir linux-2.4.20 to linux20-bak, then unzip the kernel package again at /usr/src and patch the new (virgin) dir /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 with patch-2.4.21.

please explain to me
I have a g3 powerbook -firewire (pismo). I would appreciate someone explain to me how to find or determine the proper terms to use when associating a module to something the kernel will recognize. example: for my powerbooks ethernet hardware- how do I know that it should be : alias eth0 gmac or alias ethernet gmac The sound is the most confusing to me. Dmesg reports an Awacs/Screamer. I have seen in the mail list a dmasound_awacs but the only module in my kernel for powermac I find is a dmasound_pmac and dmasound_core. On the net I have seen how others have associated sound modules. example below: alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 dmasound_pmac alias char-major-14-3 dmasound_pmac alias /dev/dsp dmasound_pmac alias sound-service-0-0 i2c-keywest alias char-major-14-0 i2c-keywest alias /dev/mixer i2c-keywest This is confusing to me: 1-- /dev/dsp is char-major-14-3 so why is it listed both ways?? 2--Why is it nessary to list char-major-14 and char-major-14-3??? 3--How is it that sound-slot-0 and char-major-14-3 are associated to the same module 4--How does one know that char-major-14 is associated to soundcore rather than dmasound_pmac or dmasound_core or something else? 5--How do I know that I need i2c-keywest?

I am not using extreme card, but orig. I am loading airport module. modprobe airport --which also loads orinoco and yenta-socket also pcmcia and pcmcia_card and hermes. With the neccessary modules loaded I should see an ap number when I iwconfig eth1.. But I dont. No ip is given when I ifup eth1 because no ap has been identified to connect to. I dont know why. I am using >2.6.10 with modules. I have tried interfaces with and without wireless-ap. I dont do auto but manual so I can go step by step to see what I not working but I dont know what to do to make it work. Because the card is a pcmcia device should I edit something in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts??? Iwlist doesnot work.

If you are doing a ifup eth0 you are not doing a auto but a manual up. Before you do ifup eth0, do a iwconfig eth0 and you should see an essid and its ap. My understanding is that the module (airport in this case) provides this information. If there is more than one signal recieved then iwconfig can be used to specify which essid is to be selecetd. iwconfig eth0 essid selected-essid.

I previously connected with a pcmcia that is not 40 bit so it probabally is 128 and it is WEP key. I was able to connect in that way using "hotplug" and editing /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts.

Re: help with airport card on g3 powerbook

I dont think the encription is incompatable because I can connect to ap using os9. The problem is that ifup cant get an ip address from a station it does not see the ap. I dont know why it does not see the ap or how to make it do so. I have tried "iwconfig eth1 essid any" and once it recognized the ap. The "iwlist eth1 scan" should report ap's but gives error message that it is not permmited. Is it broken in PPC wireless-tools???

Re: help with airport card on g3 powerbook
The question of the encription key has been brought up. I have connected to the ap (base station) with the card using os9. The card and ap should work with linux. As I understand, when the module(s) for the airport card are installed I can iwconfig in a terminal and see the essid and key etc. for the signal received (strongest if more than one) by the card. If there is more than one ap I can use iwconfig eth1 essid essid-for-aaa to specify what ap will be "targeted". When I ifup eth1 the specs in /etc/networks/interfaces about essid and key will be used to establish what ap to ask for ip address (if dhcp). No ip number is given if no ap is shown. interfaces-- iface eth1 inet dhcp wireless-essid essid-for-aaa wireless-key key-for-aaa When I iwconfig eth1 essid essid-for-aaa and then iwconfig I dont see ap number. Without a number a connection wont be made. I can get that ap number in about one of 100 attempts at iwconfig eth1 essid any.
