Playing Audio CDs

[Simon Windsor]

Hi
I can't seem to get this to work.

Insert an Audio CD, it is correctly identified, plays 5-6 s of a minute
and then hangs.

Any ideas on what the problem may be ?

That is exactly what use to happen to me when I used alsa - but now,  
alsa works perfectly for me.

Maybe the alsa driver for your sound card is bad?
Does it play files from HD without issue? (mine - back about a year ago  
or so - had the same symptom you described but with _any_ audio media -  
CD or Video file or audio files on HD)

Hi

Problem semi fixed.

If I load gnome_cd as an applet, everything is ok, but if I open
gnome_cd into a window application, EVERYTHING goes slow, very slow.

My graphics driver is a RIVA TNT2. Am I experiencing a graphics driver
problem ?

Many thanks

Simon

Everything on the machine?

Probably not. It's unlikely. Run top in a terminal and see what's taking
up the CPU time.
