Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) Installed from: Fedora RPMs I'm having a real problem with playing playing CD in KDE 4 apps including KsCD and KPlayer. No matter what configuration I set in Multimedia and Audio CDs in system settings I can't get proper playback of CDs. KsCD doesn't seem to find my CD and KPlayer plays back but playback starts and stops continuously. I'm using phonon-xine for my backend. When I use xine directly my CDs playback smooth as silk.
KPlayer does not use Phonon at all. I'm also not sure Kscd not finding your CD is a Phonon issue, I'd rather suspect HAL or Solid.
Forgot to mention. I'm using phonon 4.3.0
Kevin. Could be. But all I know is that KDE 4 apps don't work the way they should. But playing directly from Xine does even though I'm using the same xine-libs with phonon-xine and Xine. I think it would be best to let the KDE developers decide where the actual problem is instead of guessing.
Crap!!! Sometimes I miss what's written right infront of face. I checked for the thin cable as indicated by Kevin. Doh. It wasn't there. I just connected one and KsCD works like a charm. However KPlayer still behaves the same. But as Kevin points out, that KPlayer doesn't use Phonon then I suppose I should report this as over at KPlayer. So I guess this should be a never mind. I'm sorry for the reporting this needlessly.
