Sound Servers on Linux - What the?

[James McDonald]

Folks

I have mandrake 9.0 on a  Via main board

/etc/modules.conf has "alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio" in it

and I can play mp3 using the default xmms install fine....

My problem is I can't put a music cd in and play it.

I have tried playing cd's in xine, grip, kscd, xmms etc. and they all 
play the cd but no sound comes out.

Can anyone point me in the right direction... Is it something to do with 
the soundservers or a device the players can't find?

Thanks
James McDonald
