Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: FreeBSD Ports OS: FreeBSD I have a dual-boot: - Windows XP - PC-BSD My DVD drive has no physical audio cable connected to the mother board, still, audio CDs work in Windows Media Player, VLC, Real One Player. On PC-BSD, audio CDs work fine in Kaffeine but not in KsCD. KsCD shouldn't require that the computer has an audio cable connecting the CD-ROM drive to the mobo. There's gotta be a way if all other media players work just fine.
Did you check the option "Use direct digital playback" ? You can find the option through "Extras" -> "Configure KsCD".
Thank you Youngjoon, I'm not sure I have this option. Please have a look at it: http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/6969/kscdov1.png Other than that, I think it's incredible that this option isn't enabled by default. I can't imagine a second commercial software such as Windows Media Player requiring that the end user goes to the configurations to enable DAE.
Created attachment 17731 [details] My configuration part has the button.. I'm using Linux, and my configuration part shows the button. I wonder why there isn't the button in yours. I think that it may be a problem of porting KDE into FreeBSD, so how about asking to FreeBSD community?
Thank you Youngjoon, I'll get in touch with the kde-freebsd mailing list. In the meantime, could you make sure this option is checked by default please? (The user shouldn't need an audio cable to play audio CDs).
The option isn't checked default. I agree with your opinion that the option should be checked default. I hope kscd developer would fix it, if he see this report.
LOL sorry, I thought you were a KsCD developer :P
Digital playback isn't supported by KsCD (or rather libwm, which KsCD is a frontend for) on FreeBSD.
*** Bug 148017 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
libwm of kscd (1.6) in kde 3.5.7 still doesn't have support for digital playback on FreeBSD. It's a big pity because this is as easy as simply reading from CD device (no ioctls or other magic required) starting FreeBSD 5.1. E.g. from old xmms code: /* Digital extraction with ATAng */ int read_audio_data(int fd, int pos, int num, void *buf) { int bsize = 2352; if (ioctl(fd, CDRIOCSETBLOCKSIZE, &bsize) == -1) return -errno; if (pread(fd, buf, num*bsize, (pos - 150)*bsize) != num*bsize) return 0; return num; }
In KDE 4 kscd doesn't do audio playback from cd(4) devices with Xine backend because libxine / xine-lib doesn't support that. E.g. please see: http://old.nabble.com/use-libcdio-for-cdda--td30374818.html

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version? If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
I no longer have that kind of *hardware* around. It's been 15 years after all.
