Re: Sound Check Vol. 2 CDDA
Towanda Tuning
Now I don't have gnome installed, so no more soundjuicer for me. In both my laptop and new desktop, I tried mcdp and cdcd. They both detected the tracks and information and things, but there would be no sound when I play it. I checked alsamixer and groups, they were fine. I could use abcde to extract tracks perfectly. Playing normal videos, VCD or DVD have perfect sound.
the things I remember checking and being ok were:
a) I do have an audio cable running to my soundcard from the drive
b) all channels are unmuted and set at 100%
c) I have a headphone jack on the front of my cd drive, and sound worked through that
d) I booted up Windows and it worked
The "symptom" is a little bit different from before, though. For sound-juicer (btw I don't use gnome anymore, I installed sound-juicer and all dependencies just to check whether it works) it says it "does not have permission to access the cdrom" or something. I've triple checked I'm in the optical group.
Wow I thought this thread died again. Thanks for the replies. Again, I don't have an audio CD with me to test, which I suppose shows I really don't listen to audio CDs in computers, and I'm really not bitching. KimTjik, I didn't know mplayer can play audio CDs? Because mplayer is my favourite multimedia player. I now know the cdda:// option. If it works, I'd be happy using that. Still, it wouldn't hurt to correct the long standing problem with soundjuicer, cdcd, mcdp.
I just checked on my 233mmx build
- rick dangerous 2 does have sounds/music with sound.com loaded
- blues brothers I had to disable L1 cache to get the game to have sounds , seems like it's a speed sensitive game because without L1 disabled all I got was speaker sfx
For me this seems to be two programs competing for the sound output. If I make the game inactive I get redbook audio but lose sound effects and vice versa.
I'm gonna grab a new card, maybe Live! and check if that'll work better. This isn't just Daemon Tools as I tried with Alcohol 52% too.
How can you be sure all the lossless music files you downloaded from the Internet are with good quality? WAV, APE, FLAC and other lossless music which can keep the same sound quality as CDs are popular with music fans and we can easily find various music with lossless WAV, APE, FLAC tag. However, not all music with the lossless labels are actual high-quality, for some audio files may be converted from lossy formats (such as low bitrate MP3) by increasing the bitrate. Compared with true lossless audio, such converted file has the same size and format container yet the sound quality is totally different. This article will list some common misconceptions about lossless music, and recommend several free audio checker software including tau analyzer, Spek for you to identify the fake lossless audio files.
