I am running suse 9.2, with Gnome, when I try to play a cd in the cd or dvd there is no sound at all.

The tracks are recognised and play but no sound comes out. I have checked the obvious like the volume control. All other system souns work and I can play mp3's from the hard disk.

Any ideas??

Are you accessing it digitally or analougey?
Because you might not have your CD drive plugged in for analog audio, and the program you're using might be trying to use that analog sound, rather than doing it over the IDE cable.
Either plug an analog sound cable from your CD drive to your mobo/soundcard or find the option in whatever audio program your using to use digital transmission.

Thanks, it seems to be digital.. My old windows xp system must have picked it up automatically. I thought I had the analogue cable plugged into the sound card though.

If the analog cable is plugged, maybe the volume control for the analog input is muted in the mixer (also that volume control might not be correctly identified in the mixer).
