Hi there,
I'm new at this Linux thing and i've just installed Fedora Core 3 on my desktop, so i hope someone would be kind enough to help me out with my problems.
After installing Fedora, the first thing i notice is that i can't play any VCD, DVD or even normal audio CDs; I "tested" my soundcard and it work find because i can hear the sample sound played in the "Sound Card Detection" section and i can also hear all the system events sounds.... so far that is my worries after installing Fedora into my desktop apart from not being able to access my NTFS partition but that i can solve..... so pls help me out with my sound ( & video ) problems. thanks.
I had the same issue and it turned out I had not connected the cable from my cdrw/dvd drive to the mobo. Then I had to make sure the haedphone out wasnt muted in alsamixer or kmix or whatever. There may be other, better ways...

What do you mean by VCD and DVD problem? You mean you can't watch them or they don't sound?
If the problem is that you can't watch any video, you may need to download a more suited application (like Xine or Mplayer) for that (yum is your friend for that, and certainly livna or freshrpms are your best repos for those). http://rpm.livna.org and http://heidelberg.freshrpms.net
As for the sound, check your cables and please post what is marked as Multimedia audio controller: when you issue the command (yuo don't have to be root for this): /sbin/lspci -v
You may have an ALSA issue there, or just your volume levels need adjusting.

I assume you are able to mount a data CD but not able to play your audio CDs ?
If so, I had the same problem.
FC3 has a bug in the installation which makes the permissions of your CD drive as 640. Change the permissions to 644 and your audio cds will start playing. E.g. on my machine the CDROM drive is /dev/hdc ( use the hardware browser to find out if you dont know)
$chmod 664 /dev/hdc
Working on the video part though. I have the same problem. Can't watch Star Wars DVDs.. sigh ! :(

XMMS can play sound digitally, without the need for the analogue cable between the CD drive and the soundcard.
Open XMMS -> right click for a menu -> Preferences -> Audio I/O Plugins -> CD Audio Player 1.2.10 [libcdaudio.so] -> Configure -> Play mode: Digital Audio Extraction.
Hope this helps,
James.
I'm new in Linux and apparently have the same problem. My question is where can I introduce the" $chmod 664 /dev/hdc " command?

Panel pop-up menu --> System tools --> Terminal, or alternatively right click on the desktop --> Open Terminal
Su - at the prompt and enter your root password. Enter the command at the prompt. After execution of the command, return to user via the exit command, close the terminal via the exit command.
You should get a hold of some reference books on linux and do some reading before trying to post many more messages. A good starting point might be pdf files of Red Hat Linux 9.0 "Getting Started", "reference", and "customization" guides available through following links on Fedora documentation or links on documentation at Red Hat's home web site.
David,
First of all, thank you. I'm a newbie and I don't want to badder but what I did yesterday before sending my e- mail is exactly what you wrote.I'm reading the guides but it takes time and I usually check out other sources before posting messages. I'm receiving the following error for both hdd and hdc:
[root@localhost ~]# $chmod 664 /dev/hdc -bash: 664: command not found
what's wrong?

Drop the dollar sign ($).
The syntax is:
chmod 664 /dev/hdc
Regards, Ed.
Thank you. It is also the reason for what I didn't find the command" $chmod" in any place.

People answering questions on mailing lists (and other online documentation) will often give commands that need to be run. Sometimes these instructions will show a typical shell prompt too. So, for instance, an instruction to run the command "chmod 664 /dev/hdc" will often be written as:
$ chmod 664 /dev/hdc
The "$" here is supposed to indicate the shell prompt. You might also find people writing this as "#" to indicate a command that should be run as the root user:
# chmod 664 /dev/hdc
In your case your shell prompt (for the root user) appears to be "[root@localhost ~]#" but this will vary from system to system, which is why the shorthand "$" or "#" is usually shown instead.
Paul.
everything is clear now.
