Sound problems with the cd player

Hello All,
I would like to play a music cd. All the gear works in Debian so we know the hardware is ok.
The first issue is that I am told by "cd player" that I do not seem to have permission to open /dev/cdrom. I am in the audio group as well as the optical and wheel groups.
The real problem it seems to me is that /dev/cdrom is owned by root and the group is also root even though it is just a pointer to /dev/hdc which has a group set to "optical."
Issue number two is that if root plays the "cd player" in the menu he can get it started but the player claims a known good music cd is "blank."
This is all from a fresh install of "noodle." (0.7.1) and I use xfce4. I followed every step in the wiki.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards, Joe

I got the stock cd player to work finally, but I am not sure what did it, as I had moved on to other things and just tried it once more this morning when it started working. It is possible that something happened in the re-boot.
Thanks to everyone for their ideas.
One quick question, however. How do you get xmms to play a cd? All I get is a playlist editor. I just want to pop a cd in the drive and hear music.
Thanks.

I have a problem with the CD player plays some species, others give me this letter no longer supported PowerPC

Educational software suffers from having been written many years ago, but the financial market is not such to give the publisher much incentive to update the software.
The problem for you is that Top Notch 2 with ActiveBook was written and released by Pearson back when Macs utilized the PowerPC CPU platform. In 2006, Apple migrated the Macs to Intel CPUs, but released their Operating Systems with an invisible translation program, Rosetta, so that the user could continue to use their existing library of PowerPC applications and take time to update them as needed.
The problem arises in that Apple no longer continues to update Rosetta for inclusion in Lion and now Mountain Lion, so that your CD-ROM cannot be executed on your Lion Mac.
Since Pearson looks unlikely to rewrite and release an Intel version of Top Notch 2, you must find a workaround that will play your CD-ROM and allow you to continue utilizing your ActiveBook.
You do not indicate which model of Mac you are using. If you upgraded it to Lion from Snow Leopard, you have these workarounds:
1. Revert to Snow Leopard
2. Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it. This will allow you to "dual-boot" into Snow Leopard when you need access to run Top Notch 2. You would then have to "dual-boot" back into Lion when you needed access to those features required by Lion.
If you purchased a new Mac that came with Lion, you only have one workaround available to run Top Notch 2:
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels
[click on image to enlarge]
There is an easier way to run your Top Notch 2 in Parallels if cost is not a significant factor for you. You must purchase Snow Leopard Server from a third party souce, such as eBay, which when sold by Apple was $499 or more. I now see that it can be purchased on eBay for as little as $51. Parallels allows for easy installation of Snow Leopard Server into Parallels.
If cost is a factor, then use the link above the photo to follow my instructions on how to install Snow Leopard client ($19.99 from Apple) into Parallels and achieve the same result.
Lastly, you could purchase a used Mac that will allow Snow Leopard to be the boot OS X installed (wth the optional Rosetta installed). But this seems like an expensive alternative just to run one piece of software; and subject to hardware failure without notice or recourse.

Sound problem with the Audigy 2 va

Hi, I have asound problem with the Audigy 2 value. most of applictaions I played got sound. however, when I play FS2004, the sounds come on only the ATC voice in game playing, 5sec after the voice over, the sound is gone, and only when another voice is playing, the sound comes out. please helps out.

Shedden,
I would suggest going ahead with a cleansweep and reinstall of the card. Here are instructions on how to cleansweep and reinstall your sound card:

Sound problems with the kt6 delta

Hi all,
I capture a lot of streaming audio from the web. I use cool edit pro to record the audio and then save it as a mp3 file. I have noticed recently that my sound seems to be dropping from time to time. For a while the sound level is great and then drops down very low before coming back up again.
Has anyone had this sort of problem?
Thanks,
David

It does get quite warm on mine.
You'd think with all of the integrated stuff in it the thing should be cooking.
I've seen on a Soyo KT600 Dragon board it had heatsinks galore a tiny guy on the nic chip, and also one on the southbridge along with the mosfets, and a few other places.

Sound problems with the Audig

Did your old soundcard sound better than your new one? I purchased a new computer with the SoundBlaster Audigy 4 soundcard. It doesn't sound as good as my old system with a SoundBlaster Li've 5. soundcard. I'm using the same speakers so that can't be it. Just about everything I play sounds like they're singing in a hole. I have changed settings, disabled the bass enhancement, updated drivers, but still I can't fix it. I'm using Windows XP Professional SP2. I was using Windows XP Professional SP with my old system. Could that have been the difference or is it the sound card? I wish I had my old soundcard back. I have a lot of old 45's and LP's that I am trying to record onto cd but I don't want to have to edit each one "with a fine tooth comb" before I burn them to cd. Any suggestions?

Have you disabled EAX effects and CMSS processing?
For recording LP's, I suggest you to use software that supports ASIO or WDM/KS driver modes (these modes gives you the best signal level and 'unmodified' data).
For best quality you can get from Audigy 4, record to stereo wav files using 24-bit/96 kHz 'resolution' (one side (or both sides) of the LP into one wav file) and then, before transfering to CDs, dither/SRC down to CD quality (6-bit/44. kHz) using Voxengo r8brain free. You can split those big files (LP sides A/B or A+B) into tracks w/ most burning software as like w/ Nero (or split using CT WaveStudio). You propably can also add CD-TEXT w/ most present burning software (artist/track name).
<i>IMO, you did get a wrong card for ripping those LP's. From Creative consumer cards, any 'original' X-Fi could have been better and from Creative E-MU brand either 0404 (~$99) or 22M (~$00-$55) would have been even better than X-Fi cards.</i>

A problem with the DVD player

Hello
I live in Kuwait, and I order a lot of movies from the United states by amazon.com, movie regions differ from USA and Kuwait, so the DVD player must change the drive's region, the problem is that I'm out of times because it's limited. Why is it limited and what can I do to solve this problem, even if I had to use other programs. Thanks.

VLC might work. It doesn't care about region codes.
For other possible options, you might try here.

I am having major problems with the Flash Player Download

I have downloaded it probably 12 times +. I have tried everything I know and keep coming back to the boards for more. I don't know what else to do. I have I/E 8. I use AVG 8.5. I use Net zero and their proprietary pop up blocker. I download 10.1.82.76. I have also downloaded the older version and tried that. I tried the manual download. I made sure AVG is off. My Internet setting is at Medium.I have CCleaner installed. The blocker is on.I do see the whirling F video and it say I have the corresponding download to the right, and that it was successfully downloaded. I go to my control panel and in there it shows the download manger actively installed with a quantity of size. It shows the Adobe Flash Player also installed at least in name, BUT there is no quantity displayed for the file size. So this tells me it is somewhere, but just not totally installed or stuck somewhere. I completely remove it each time I reload it And I restart before I redownload. As far as I remember I already had it operating a while ago and all of a sudden my game site wouldn't work on Facebook. So I troubleshot it. It said to download the latest version if the game won't start so I did. And that is when this whole download problem began, probably about a week and a half ago.I have Windows XP Pro in I believe 32 bit, but where it says to check it says 128 bit capable, I think was the word. I can't find specific 32 or 64 anywhere.XP version is several years old.and I don't have any brand new hardware. It is an ASUS board, top of the line back when. and no problems before. There is a raid system running. as the board was designed for it. And I run two mirrored high speed discs in SATA. but they are almost totally empty. They are Raptors.The board is a P5AD2 Deluxe. I just have 1 Gig or ram installed.I use a slow but usually reliable dial up download. I can't get high speed.I have another spyware blocker in the tray Zone Alarm, but I very seldom use it and keep it off most of the time and every time I have downloaded the Flash.In tools my Flash Object is enabled AND it shows the correct download version of Flash. Under Internet Properties/Advanced I don't know which to set where so I haven't changed any.........Well that's about all I can tell you that I remember I have tried. Now you can see what you can think of. I'm out and really ticked at this Adobe thing.
I hope I can find my way back to these posts for the answers.

Ok, but before I get involved with a lot of uninstall's, whereas you said that the earlier one didn't effect anything when it did, what is this going to effect and can I recover the deleted info or files if it doesn't work or causes problems as I say it did before?
Second I never used a downloaded uninstaller before during any of my uninstall's. Just the one in the control panel listing included in the FP header and listed there. It appeared that it removed all of the FP info because as I said I went to the Start/search and looked for any Adobe FP items and found none. So I assumed I did a good job of clearing any FP before rebooting and re-downloading FP. So is that a yes or a no to start with?
Third You, I guess it was you said that from what I told you FP is loaded and operating as it should. If so why would I do this (continue making changes) now, when apparently the problem is elsewhere? IF in fact it is, that is.
Fourth. I received a reply from Facebook tech saying that IE8 does have some issues with their app's due to similar construction platforms or something to that effect (I saved the mail so I can quote it if necessary), and that I should try a bunch of these recommendations and see if they work, which I did not yet do.I just sort of gave up on their game and said screw it. If they can't provide software that works with current popular platforms then I don't need their software. And part of what they suggested was to change my browser. I am used to IE and really don't like changing things all the time just because there's something new. And many of the things available in Firefox and such, I probably don't have use for so why should I change to begin with. Anyway I wasn't really willing to change my browser to suit their software. But in another point, the game was working fine for quite a while with my original FP untill it just quit one day. And as I said I don't know of any changes I made to cause it. I didn't change browsers or download any other games or change ISP or change FP or modify how they ran as far as I know.
Fifth. I received an e-mail from a girl who like me posted on here and while reading some of the posts before posting my self read hers. Our problem or complaint was quite similar and someone suggested that she use a different browser and she apparently did and it apparently because she emailed me and said that that was what worked for here. Again, I didn't persue that avenue.
Sixth. But just FYI any of the seemingly similar games will still not work on the Facebook site for me because I downloaded a similar one to the one that didn't work and it did just as the other one was doing. and loaded all the way until the game picture loaded and stopped blank. So either I have a problem or bug or Facebook/Game supplier does. Maybe both.
So please answer these before I just go off and make changes I can't recover from if my system crashes because of a mod. Thanks.

Problem with the Flash Player 1,7,700,202 and monitor stand-by

Hi
I have installed Flash Player 1,7,700,202 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit with Internet Explorer 10.x and I have a problem on each account:
When I play back a video or I see a Flash animation on a Web page, the monitor does not go more into stand-by during their visualization. How come?
Thanks
Bye

Are you looking to have your monitor go into standby while video is playing? I suspect you might get a better response on Microsoft's forums.

HT2801 Has anyone else had problems with the dvd player in pre unibody macbook pros?

My 2007 macbook pro has a skrewed up dvd drive. It doesn't seem to matter if the dvd is brand new or badly scratched: iDVD takes several minutes to pop up and several more to recognise that there is a disc present and several more to start reading it. Half the time the drive just spins the dvd around really fast and makes a lot of noise and gets the fans maxed out and then stalls and eventually decides to give up. After giving up on playing the disc it usually has a hard time deciding whether or not to eject the disc! I don't know if its just burnt out and needing replacing or if there is an inherent flaw in the manufacture/design of the drive. Either way it really irritating.

SuperDrives wear out - it seems that yours might be on the verge of a mechanical failure. I'd just replace it, buying a new drive from Other World Computing and installing it yourself (because Apple would charge a small fortune).

Having problems with my music player on my iPad with the new io7

Downloaded the new io7 on my iPad mini. Now I have problems with the music player not letting me download songs onto my iPad, then closing out the app. Then on iTunes it shows up in the downloads tab and comes up as an error and still won't download. At this point I'd rather have the old io6. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Did you install the latest driver set for the device? there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

Sound problems with Satellite A100 (PSAA8)

I am continually having sound problems with the laptop. Whilst I hear the windows start up noise and beeps, I cannot hear any sound from things like CDs, iTunes, Media Player - in fact an error message will always come up. In Media Player the error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device......." comes up. I have a the standard pre-installed Realtek sound thing on my laptop. I have tried downloading a newer driver from the Toshiba support centre, but I don't know what to do with the zip file. Also in Control Panel, Sounds, everything is greyed-out.
Hope someone can help cos I am going nuts with this :-)
Thanks

Hi again
I have downloaded the Realtek sound driver from the Tosh page and unzipped it.
(I have chosen the driver for Vista!!! I suppose you use Vista???)
There is a folder called sound. Access this folder and run Setup.exe
But before you will start this procedure you could access the device manager (control panel -> computer -> device manager) and choose sound, video, and game controller. There you have to mark realtek AC and click on uninstall and reboot the unit.
After this sound driver removing you should start the new driver installation described above. (setup.exe)

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.
